47 Ronin (2013)
In feudal Japan, Lord Asano rules his province
with fairness. However, jealous Lord Kira (Tadanobu Asano) fears that the
shogun favors Asano over him and hatches a plot that ends with Asano's ritual
suicide. After Asano's death, his samurai, led by Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada), are
forced to live as outcasts. Oishi wanders for several years but realizes that
he must turn to Kai (Keanu Reeves), a mixed-blood warrior he once rejected, to
help him and his ronin comrades take revenge on Lord Kira.
