Overview:	It is 1863. The arrival of Commander Perry's Black Ships have forced the already-feeble Shogunate to open Japan to western trade. Rebellious Daimyo, seeing a chance to seize power, are campaigning for the restoration of Emperor to a position of actual power (with them, of course, providing "guidance"). In an era of chaos and uncertainty, a small band of ronin and farmers band together to support the Shogunate and keep the peace in Kyoto, the Imperial city, a hotbed of intrigue and sedition. No matter what it takes, even murder, they vow to preserve the traditions of their forefathers. Toshiro Mifune leads an all-star cast in this classic true story of men who achieved immortality by battling the inexorable tide of history!
