The Last Samurai

The Last Samurai is one of the few and finest Western-made Samurai films ever to cross the silver screen. Tom Cruise plays a post Civil War veteran on a downward spiral. His battle talents are hired by the emerging Meiji government of Japan. Trying to eradicate the ways of the Samurai, Meiji Japan is on the fast track to modernization, and the old Samurai class is in its way. ...more

Most of the Samurai clans have been defeated or assimilated, but not Ken Watanabe's clan. They're holding out trying their best to defend their dying way of life. Tom Cruise is captured by the clan only to come to love them. Ultimately, he will fight along side the Samurai as an equal among them. His loyalty is with his heart, and his heart has come to love the noble Samurai spirit.

If you haven't seen this epic Samurai film yet, I highly recommend it. It's shot in beautiful color and style. Each frame is enhanced on the HD and Blu-ray versions. The Last Samurai is already an instant classic. ...top
