Mifune (in a role similar to that he would play in THE SEVEN SAMURAI) is Miyamoto, the young man who dreams of battle, yet finds himself on the wrong side of a civil war. His chance at redemption comes from a loving woman and a wise priest who puts him on the path to enlightenment...and the way of the samurai. [More]
