JOIUCHI: HAIRYO TSUMA SHIMATSU (Samurai Rebellion)

1725, Japan: Samurai Isaburo wants a happy marriage for his son and retirement for himself. His son is forced to marry a former mistress of the clan chief against his will, but when the two fall in love, the fulfilment of his dreams seems within reach. However, the clan chief soon threatens to destroy the young couple's happiness and forces Isaburo to act.
In precise images, with a precise rhythm and legendary fight scenes, the film shows Isaburo's (the actor Toshiro Mifune, known from Kurosawa films) rebellion against the unjust ruling class of a tyrannical system.
