Plot

The film adapts the classic story of Asano Naganori and his forty-seven retainers. After Asano draws his sword against Kira in Edo Castle and is ordered to commit seppuku, his retainers, led by Ōishi Kuranosuke, plot and execute revenge against Kira, an act which ultimately ends in their own ordered seppuku by the Tokugawa shogunate. The drama focuses on the interpersonal and social consequences surrounding the incident and the ronin's preparations for vengeance.
