Shogun
From best-selling author James Clavell comes this sweeping, award-winning story of love and war, set against the spectacular background of feudal Japan at the beginning of the 17th century. Richard Chamberlain stars as John Blackthorne, an English navigator shipwrecked off the coast of Japan. Rescued, he becomes an eyewitness to a deadly struggle involving Toranaga (Toshiro Mifune), a feuding warlord intent on becoming Shogun - the supreme military dictator. At the same time, Blackthorne is irresistibly drawn into the turmoil and finds himself vying to become the first-ever gai-jin (foreigner) to be made a samurai warrior. This is the complete nine-hour presentation of this landmark television miniseries.
