Following the announcement that the Glasgow Film Festival 2025 will open with the Gala World premiere of the survival thriller TORNADO, we take a first look at the Lionsgate UK release coming to cinemas nationwide on Friday, May 23.
The hotly anticipated feature from Scottish director John Maclean, starring Tim Roth, Jack Lowden, Takehiro Hira and Kōki, will open the Glasgow Film Festival on Wednesday, February 26.
Set in the rugged landscape of 1790s Britain, Tornado (played by model-songwriter Kōki) finds herself caught in a perilous situation when she and her father’s travelling puppet show crosses paths with a ruthless criminal gang led by Sugarman (Pulp Fiction star Tim Roth) and his ambitious son Little Sugar (Slow Horses’ Jack Lowden). In an attempt to create a new life, Tornado seizes the opportunity to steal the gold from the gang’s most recent heist; what follows is a thrilling tale of adrenaline-fueled action as Tornado fights to escape a violent demise.
