The film's plot follows that of the game closely. Nariko, a member of an ancient tribe who have guarded an ancient magical sword for thousands of years, is charged with bringing the sword to its destined wielder, a deity reincarnated who will bring peace to the land. But on her quest, Nariko must wield the sword herself against the forces of King Bohan, who wishes to possess the weapon himself.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ninja Theory's 2007 game was a PS3 exclusive meant to rival God of War; this film was produced by Blockade Entertainment, who also made the Ratchet & Clank movie nobody watched.
The Heavenly Sword itself is voiced by some nightmare frequency—Ninja Theory literally hired a woman to scream into a microphone and distorted it for the blade's 'voice.'
