Esta é a história de "Os Quarenta e Sete Ronins". Baseado em eventos históricos em 1701-2, o filme conta a história da queda do clã Asano e a vingança de seu ex-samurai sobre o autor da catástrofe. Lorde Asano foi instigado, ou enganado, a desembainhar sua espada dentro do palácio do Shogun - um crime que acarretava pena de morte. O recém-instalado Shogun ficou furioso com Asano e ordenou que todos os bens de seu clã fossem apreendidos, o que significa que cerca de 20.000 samurais e plebeus ficaram desempregados e sem terras de uma só vez. Quarenta e sete desses ronin (samurais sem mestre) se uniram para se vingar do Lorde Kira, que instigou Asano a desembainhar sua espada.
