Emperor

“After the war was won, the battle for peace began.”

One question hangs over Japan once the surrender is signed: does Emperor Hirohito hang as a war criminal? General Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones) hands the decision to General Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox), who has days to rule. Peter Webber follows Fellers through the burned streets of the occupied country, where he searches for Aya Shimada (Eriko Hatsune), the exchange student he met years before in America.
