Atslēgvārds Samurai Sword

Uma Tūrmane ir slepkava, kurai viņas kāzu dienā uzbrūk viņas priekšnieka bandas Bils (Deivids Karradīns) locekļi. Viņai izdodas izdzīvot uzbrukumā, kaut arī viņa joprojām atrodas komā. Pēc pieciem gadiem viņa pamostas ar metāla gabalu uz galvas un sirdī lielu atriebības vēlmi.

Kai pievienojas 47 roninu vadonim Oiši. Ronini gatavojas atriebties nodevīgajam pavēlniekam, kurš nogalināja viņu saimnieku un pasludināja roninus par izstumtajiem. Cīņā par savas zemes goda atgūšanu, viņus gaida virkne pārbaudījumu, kas nesagatavotiem kareivjiem nebūtu pa spēkam. Iedvesmojoties no japāņu animācijas meistara Hajao Mijazaki un mākslinieka Kacušika Hokusai daiļrades, filmas veidotāji stāstam par roniniem piešķir vēl neredzētu krāšņumu un vērienu.

The year is 1863 as the tumultuous samurai era is coming to an end, Japan is split between the pro-shogunate and anti-shogunate factions. The fate of the world is threatened as an army of historical revisionists are sent from the future to alter the course of history. In order to bring these forces down and protect the real history, two sword warriors, spirits who are swords brought to life by Saniwa (sage), rush to Edo. The polite and thoughtful Horikawa Kunihiro and the short tempered yet skillful Izuminokami Kanesada, who served the same master, confront the invading army along with a lively gang of other warriors including Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki, Yagen Toushirou, Tombokiri, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga. As the fate of history lies in these hero's hands, what meets the blade is yet to be uncovered...

The year is 2205. The "historical revisionists" have begun attacks on the past in their plot to change history. The Saniwa, who have been charged with protecting history, can imbue life into objects. Strongest among these are the Tōken Danshi. The story centers around their cheerful lives.
