Samurai Jack is a warrior from the past banished to the future by the evil wizard Aku.
From childhood, Jack’s destiny was to free his people from Aku. He trained in the
martial arts, becoming a master with the Samurai sword, Throwing Stars and Bow. But
sly Aku recognized Jack as a threat. In a masterstroke of treachery, the wizard cast
Samurai Jack into the future leaving his people defenseless.
Now Jack’s family and friends are his ancient ancestors. He wanders the world in
search of the portal that will return him home.
And Aku? His evil shadow darkens the future as well. Aku’s robot minions are invading
peaceful lands to imprison, enslave and brainwash innocent inhabitants. The only hope
is Samurai Jack, and every soul he rescues brings him one step closer to his destiny –
the destruction of Aku.
