The plot of Rebel Moon
The plot of Rebel Moon revolves around Kora, a young woman with a mysterious past, who is dispatched by a peaceful colony on the edge of the galaxy to seek out warriors from neighboring planets. The settlement finds itself threatened by the armies of the tyrannical Regent Balisarius, and Kora's mission is to find help.
The plot parallels the classic film Seven Samurai, with the story's twist taking place in a far-flung galaxy where interplanetary travel is common. Snyder has described Rebel Moon as a mixture of Star Wars with a hint of Akira Kurosawa. Hence, fans of George Lucas' franchise, as well as the Japanese director, are sure to find a lot to love in this film.
