Legendary swordplay filmmaker Hideo Gosha's Sword of the Beast chronicles the flight of retainer Gennosuke, who kills one of his clan's ministers as part of a reform plot. He is pursued by his former comrades, and the betrayal so shakes his sense of honor that he decides to live in the wild, like an animal. There he encounters a motley group who are illegally mining the shogun's gold and, with the aid of another master swordsman, gets a chance not just at survival but to recover his name and honor.
