Summary: Set in 17th century Japan, two clans need firearms to win the war, so someone is sent to Spain to obtain five thousand muskets.

SHOGUN WARRIOR presents an epic set in 17th-century Japan. One clan, led by the warlord Takugawa Ieyasu (Toshiro Mifune), is locked in a bloody feud with a rival clan. Ieyasu decides that the only way to achieve victory is to send a band of soldiers to Spain to obtain flintlock muskets that will fire even when wet. To this end, Mayeda (Sho Kosugi), Ieyasu's most trusted samurai, leads a party to appeal to the King of Spain (Christopher Lee). However, their difficult journey is plagued by treachery.... The film features spectacular action sequences and an all-star cast, including Japanese film icon Mifune in one of his last screen appearances.
