| Shipwrecked off the coast of Japan, the cunning English navigator
Blackthorne (Richard Chamberlain) becomes a pawn in a deadly struggle between feudal
warlords plotting to become Shogun. Although shocked at first by an alien way of life he considers brutal and absurdly bound by ritual, Blackthorne gradually becomes "civilized" by his exposure to the finer points of Japanese culture. Eventually, he is the first Gai-Jin to become a samurai. Based on James Clavell's epic bestseller, SHOGUN is one of the most lavish, successful and beloved miniseries ever created. This special-edition, 4-video collectors set comes packaged in an oversized, dramatic gift box with an extensive guide to the characters, story and making of the film. |
