Full Plot Details

After securing a major victory on the battlefield, Taketoti Washizu and one of his commanders, Yoshiaki Miki, find themselves lost in the maze-like Spider's Web forest. They come across a spirit-like seer who tells them of their future: both have been promoted because of their victory that day; Washizu will someday be the Great Lord of the Spider's Web castle while Miki's son will someday rule as Great Lord as well. When they arrive at the castle, they learn that the first part of the prophecy is correct. Washizu has no desire to become Great Lord but his ambitious wife urges him to reconsider. When the current Great Lord makes a surprise visit to his garrison outpost, Washizu is again promoted to commander of his vanguard but his wife reminds him of the danger that comes with the position. As pressure mounts, Wahizu takes action leading to its inevitable conclusion.

Movie Reviews

Creative Loafing - 10/10 by Matt BrunsonOne of the best Shakespearean adaptations ever made, and that director Akira Kurosawa topped himself by helming the brilliant King Lear-inspired Ran 28 years later only cements the fact that he will always be heralded as one of the greats.
Film International - 10/10 by Matthew SorrentoKurosawa grounds this downward spiral through the presence of Toshiro Mifune, who personalizes the Macbeth role while making it greater than his historical moment.
New Yorker - 10/10 by Anthony LaneNo stage production could match Kurosawa's Birnam Wood, and, in his final framing of the hero -- a human hedgehog, stuck with arrows -- he conjures a tragedy not laden with grandeur but pierced, like a dream, by the absurd.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumAkira Kurosawa's remarkable 1957 restaging of Macbeth in samurai and expressionist terms is unquestionably one of his finest works -- charged with energy, imagination, and, in keeping with the subject, sheer horror.
Empire Magazine - 10/10 by David ParkinsonWith its all-pervading sense of doom, this is a serious contender for the finest celluloid Shakespeare of them all.
Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James KendrickFilters themes of greed and power lust through visuals that are so rich and densely textured that they take on a life of their own.
MovieMartyr.com - 10/10 by Jeremy HeilmanKurosawa's dim view of humanity in the face of nature in Throne of Blood is reflected everywhere visually.
Flipside Movie Emporium - 10/10 by Rob VauxKurosawa at the top of his game, Mifune at his most darkly compelling, and the best realization of Shakespeare ever put to film.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyTransplanted to medieval Japan, Kurosawa's brutal film is one of the best Shakesperean adaptations on screen, with a tour de force performance from Toshiro Mifune; it makes a fascinating double bill with the masterful Ran
Movie Metropolis - 9/10 by Christopher LongThese most powerful of men are just puppets or, more aptly, fools embracing the illusion that they are masters of a world that views them as ... a punchline to the cosmic joke
