In postwar Japan, a fiercely ambitious filmmaker named Akira Kurosawa finds his perfect screen alter ego in the wild, magnetic Toshiro Mifune. Together, they conquer Japanese cinema and change filmmaking around the world. But as success turns into obsession, their legendary partnership begins to fracture—and Kurosawa finds himself abandoned by an industry that once called him a master. Haunted by loss and pushed to the brink of self-destruction, he must decide whether there is anything left worth creating. Years later, a new generation of filmmakers raised on his work offers him an unexpected path back. THE EMPEROR is the story of a man who changed cinema, lost nearly everything, and returned to create his greatest battles one last time.
