A train crosses Arizona carrying a Japanese ambassador. He is headed to Washington with a ceremonial sword, a gift from the emperor for the President of the United States, and is accompanied by a group of samurai who guard his safety. Link Stuart and Gauche lead a gang of outlaws who have set their sights on the convoy. Their goal is to rob it and make off with four hundred thousand dollars in gold.

Trivia about Red Sun

The film set a box office record in Tokyo, where it stayed in theaters for 35 weeks during its initial release screenings.

Clint Eastwood was reported as a possible co-star in the early stages of the project, announced in 1968 with Toshiro Mifune already attached.

Director John Landis appears uncredited as one of the henchmen who is killed by a Comanche arrow during the ambush.

Filming began in mid-January 1971 in Madrid and Almería, with a budget of $3.6 million; an unexpected storm forced the shoot to run 18 days longer.

Toshiro Mifune was the first commitment for the international cast, after Terence Young traveled to Japan in 1966 to persuade him to join the project.

During filming, Mifune brought Japanese beef, watercress, seaweed and other ingredients to cook for the crew, and swapped recipes for French and Italian dishes.

The film drew 3,300,488 viewers in France and earned about 4,840,000 dollars according to the box office data published for the title.

In 2024, the Lumière Festival presented a 4K restoration made by Studiocanal at the TransPerfect Media lab, with a DCP in the original version with French subtitles.
