Kon Ichikawa's retelling of the classic true story of Samurai honor. When a young clan lord is forced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide), his loyal followers (now Ronin, masterless Samurai) dedicate their lives to avenging his death.

In the dead of night, a covert team of six operatives embark on a harrowing mission to rescue a girl named Maria from a secluded country home. Little do they know, this extraction will plunge them into a horrifying nightmare.
