Plot:	The true story of a group of samurai whose lord was forced to commit suicide for assaulting a court official. After planning their revenge for over a year, they execute a daring assault against the court official, knowing full well the dire consequences.
Overview:	A timeless tale of honor and revenge, "The Loyal 47 Ronin" is the true story of a group of samurai who became ronin (masterless samurai) after their lord was forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide) for assaulting a rude court official, Kira Yoshinaka. After patiently waiting and planning their revenge for over a year, they executed a daring assault on Lord Kira's estate, in the full knowledge that they would themselves be forced to commit seppuku to atone for their crime. Daiei Studios pulled out all the stops to create what is arguably the best film adaptation of the story ever made.
