In the distant past, an evil shape-shifter named Aku has brought destruction across the land. As the citizen's last hope, a youngster is sent away to train as a samurai warrior. But when he returns as an adult to confront Aku, the warrior finds himself flung into the future through a time portal, landing an an unknown time and place. There the locals dub him "Jack" and help him in his quest to return to the past and undo the evil brought by Aku. Samurai Jack's adventures and battles are portrayed through a groundbreaking style that combines stylized cartooning, minimal dialouge, split-screen visuals, rich backgrounds, and pulsating music--making Samurai Jack a true Cartoon Network original. |
