(1978)Directed by Kinji Fukasaku159 minAction, Drama, History

In 1701, Lord Asano (Teruhiko Saigō) draws his sword inside the Shogun's palace after being goaded by Lord Kira, a crime punishable by death. His clan's lands are seized, and some 20,000 samurai and commoners are left jobless and landless. Kinji Fukasaku follows Oishi Kuranosuke (Kinnosuke Nakamura) as forty-seven masterless samurai decide what they still owe a dead lord.
