'Tornado'Lionsgate UK John Maclean‘s survival thriller Tornado featuring Tim Roth, Slow Horses’ Jack Lowden and Japanese star Kōki will close this year’s Sands Film Festival. Set in the rugged landscape of 1790’s Britain, the film follows Tornado (Kōki,) who 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 (Roth) and his ambitious son Little Sugar (Lowden).
