Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. The movie, set in the Edo period of Japan, finds Toshiro Mifune playing Isoburo Sasahara, a vassal of the daimyo of the Aisu clan. Sasahara is the most skilled swordsman in the land, whose only rival in ability is his good friend Tatewaki Asano (Tatsuya Nakadai). Isoburo is in a loveless marriage with a shrew of a woman. One day one of the daimyo's advisors orders Isoburo's elder son Yogoro (Go Kato) to marry the daimyo's ex-concubine, Ichi (Yoko Tsukasa), even though she is the mother to one of the daimyo's sons. With much trepidation, the family agrees. In time, Ichi and Yogoro find love and happiness in the marriage and a daughter Tomi is born.

In the meantime the daimyo's primary heir dies, and he orders his ex-concubine to rejoin his household to care for their son and heir. The family refuses, but Ichi is tricked into the castle by Isoburo's younger son, and her husband and father-in-law are ordered to commit seppuku for their insolence and insubordination. Isoburo counters that he will comply only if the heads of the daimyo and his two primary advisors are brought to him first.

Isoburo sends his younger son and wife away and dismisses his household servants. With his elder son he prepares for battle, placing grass mats around the house to soak up blood and removing the house's walls to allow for more space for combat.
The daimyo's steward, accompanied by a platoon of 20 samurai, brings Ichi to the Sasahara house and tries to force her at spear point to renounce her marriage to Yogoro and join the daimyo's household. The daimyo also "graciously" offers to commute Isoburo and Yogoro's sentences to permanent confinement in a shrine outside his castle. Not only does Ichi refuse to join his household, she throws herself onto a spear instead of abandoning her husband. Her husband goes to her side and is killed with her in his arms. His father, enraged, kills the steward's entire party, killing the steward last as he was attempting to flee. Japanese samurai in armour, 1860s. ...
Burying the dead couple, Isoburo now decides to take his case with Tomi to the Shogun in Edo regardless of the consequences to his clan. Tatewaki, who is guarding the gate, cannot permit Isoburo to pass, and a climactic duel follows with his good friend. Isoburo is the victor, but assassins hidden nearby cut Isoburo down with musket fire. His dying words to Tomi are a charge to be a good and kind woman like Ichi, and to seek out a fine and kind husband like Yogoro. As Isoburo dies, we see Tomi's wet-nurse comforting the baby: she has been secretly following him. Shogun ) is a military rank and historical title in Japan. ...
