Run Melos!

Finished

走れメロス (1992)

Melos, a young man from Messina, travels to the grand city of Syracuse to purchase a ceremonial sword for his sister's upcoming wedding. There, he befriends a talented sculptor, forming a fast and deep bond.

Their friendship is soon tested when the paranoid King of Syracuse arrests Melos and sentences him to death, suspecting him of being an assassin. Desperate to attend his sister's marriage, Melos bargains with the King for three days of freedom to return home, promising to come back and face execution. To prove a point about human untrustworthiness, the King demands a substitute hostage, and Melos's new friend, the sculptor, volunteers to take his place, placing his own life on the line for a promise.
