Six-String Samurai

In a bleak America reshaped by nuclear fire and a lingering Russian presence, the remnants of civilization cling to the neon‑lit ruins of Las Vegas. The city, now a dusty refuge known as Lost Vegas, has crowned a flamboyant ruler who styles himself the King of Lost Vegas, echoing the swagger of a bygone era. The landscape is a stark blend of scorched desert and cracked casino façades, where the echo of old rock‑and‑roll riffs drifts through the wind, reminding survivors that the world once pulsed with music as much as it did with danger.

Enter Buddy, a lone wanderer who carries both a gleaming sword and a weathered electric guitar like extensions of his own soul. Dressed in the sartorial flair of the 1950s, he roams the wasteland with a singular purpose: to claim the throne that looms over the broken metropolis. His journey is as much a pilgrimage of sound as it is a trek across unforgiving terrain, each strum and swing a declaration that art can still roar louder than ruin. The tone of his quest is gritty yet oddly melodic, a stylized dance between violence and melody that paints the desolation with a vibrant, rebellious hue.

Along the jagged road, Buddy encounters a nameless orphan—a child whose loss has forged a fierce, silent bond. The youngster’s quiet tenacity becomes a counterpoint to Buddy’s swagger, hinting at a partnership that may reshape both their fates without overtly stating the outcome. Together they navigate a world where every cracked billboard and abandoned stage hints at the lingering power of music, suggesting that the fight for a new king is as much about reclaiming cultural identity as it is about seizing power. The film promises a fusion of post‑apocalyptic grit, rock‑infused spectacle, and the timeless quest for legacy, all set against a hauntingly beautiful wasteland that still hums with the ghosts of a lost era.
