Description

Blurb:
It’s 1949 and World War II never happened. Nikola Tesla has just won a Nobel Prize rather than dying in obscurity and the Japanese Empire is an undying aristocracy where the rich sip tea out of bone china, while the poor die in the gutters. K-20, the Fiend with Twenty Faces, steals from the rich and gives to himself. But now, on the eve of the marriage between society princess, Yoko Hashiba, and chief of police, Kogoro Akechi, the fiend frames simple circus acrobat Hekichi Endo (Takeshi Kaneshiro) for his crimes. Under arrest and sentenced to death, Endo must escape his captors and clear his good name before "The Fiend With Twenty Faces" can unleash his evil plan to destroy the entire nation!
Covertext:
Japan, 1949. Der zweite Weltkrieg hat nie stattgefunden und die Gesellschaft teilt sich in reich und arm, oben und unten. Ein mysteriöses Phantom mit einer schwarzen Maske versetzt die Stadt in Angst und Schrecken: K-20, ein krimineller Mastermind mit zwanzig Gesichtern. Aufgrund einer Verwechslung wird der junge Zirkusakrobat Heikichi, der zur armen Unterschicht gehört, von der brutalen Polizei als K-20 verhaftet. Über Nacht wird er so zum Staatsfeind Nr. 1 und sein Leben gerät aus den Fugen. Als ihn eine geheimnisvolle Diebesbande befreien kann, kennt er nur noch ein Ziel: seinen Namen reinwaschen und Rache am echten K-20 nehmen. Dafür muss er jetzt nur selbst zum Meisterdieb werden …
