The paths of two warriors converge when the young Emperor of Japan, wooed by American interests who covet the growing Japanese market, hires Algren (a respected American military officer, played by Tom Cruise) to train Japan's first modern, conscript army. But as the Emperor's advisors attempt to eradicate the Samurai in preparation for a more Westernized and trade-friendly government, Algren finds himself unexpectedly impressed and influenced by his encounters with the Samurai. Their powerful convictions remind him of the man he once was.

Thrust now into harsh and unfamiliar territory, with his life and perhaps more important, his soul, in the balance, the troubled American soldier finds himself at the center of a violent and epic struggle between two eras and two worlds, with only his sense of honor to guide him.

Starring Ken Watanabe, Tom Cruise, Billy Connolly, Tony Goldwyn, Masato Harada, Timothy Spall, and Shichinosuke Nakamura.

Directed by Edward Zwick.
