Martial arts star Kenji Tanigaki (The Princess Blade, Mortal Kombat 2) makes his directorial debut with the Japanese live-action ninja series Shinobi. Exploring issues of social rank, the series centers on ninja student Kageru, a fiercely talented warrior whose ambitions are nonetheless limited by his lower-class background. Deciding to break with tradition and challenge society's rigid hierarchies, Kageru bands with his similarly pedigreed friend and fellow student Aoi to become outcast ninjas and wander the countryside. Fueled by high-octane swordplay sequences, the Shinobi series is at once a hardhitting martial arts extravaganza and a sly social commentary on the strictures of tradition.

This collection presents all four films in the series:

The Law of Shinobi
Runaway
Hidden Techniques
A Way Out
