Edward Zwick directs this sumptuously designed, action-packed period epic that stars Tom Cruise as Captain Nathan Algren. Algren, a former Civil War hero, is adrift in 1870s San Francisco after the war, a lost soul struggling to stay afloat in a booze-soaked stupor. When he is recruited by the Japanese government to train the Emperor's army, he departs for the unknown shores of Japan and begins training the soldiers in American military tactics. But these skills are useless against a band of samurai rebels led by the proud warrior Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), and Algren is easily defeated. He is taken to a remote samurai village where he learns samurai warrior codes and ways of life, developing a deep bond with Katsumoto and sharing philosophical conversations with him. Caught between the feudal culture of the ancient samurai warriors and the encroachment of modern society, Algren is forced to choose between his own culture or Katsumoto's. THE LAST SAMURAI is lavish in its dramatic period costumes and intense performances, and will thrill fans of both historical drama and action films.
Cast:
"...[A] rousing, smoothly assembled historical fantasia....A handsome epic..."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum
, (Entertainment Weekly)
"...Cruise plays the role with fierce energy and swings a Bushido blade like a pro..." -- Peter Travers , (Rolling Stone) "[With] some of the most impressively realised battles this side of Middle Earth." -- Ben Walters , (Sight and Sound) "Mr. Zwick has absorbed the lethal agility of Akira Kurosawa; what registers just as powerfully as the sureness of the combatants is the ugly futility of the battles themselves." -- Elvis Mitchell , (New York Times) "THE LAST SAMURAI affords the sort of fizzy enjoyment that can come with epic movie endeavors, including a meticulously detailed world unlike our own, an excellent supporting cast and some pulse-pounding fights." -- Manohla Dargis , (Los Angeles Times) "Beautifully designed, intelligently written, acted with conviction, it's an uncommonly thoughtful epic." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times) "THE LAST SAMURAI is another stirring Civil War-era epic directed by Edward Zwick." -- Widescreen Review Staff , (Widescreen Review)
