Netflix gives way to one of the box office movies of 2003, ‘The Last Samurai’, along with the other movies which will also be available on February 1, 2022. Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise leads in this war epic action movie whom he too co-produces alongside the film director Edward Zwick and writers John Logan and Mashall Herskovitz.
Tom Cruise is markedly known for his ‘Mission Impossible’ movie series which also raked millions of dollars in earnings at the box office.
The film's plot was inspired by the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion led by Saigo Takamori, and the westernization of Japan by foreign powers,
This classic war movie ‘The Last Samurai' did very well in the box office grossing a total of $456 million but was criticized in Japan for a romanticized 'storybook' portrayal of the samurai, who are regarded as having been more corrupt. It was nominated for several awards, including four Academy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and two National Board of Review Awards.
Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is an American military officer of the 7th Cavalry Regiment hired by the Emperor of Japan to train the country's primary military force in the art of contemporary combat.
As the government attempts to exterminate the primitive Samurai warrior class in the development of a more Westernized and trade-friendly approach, Algren finds himself surprisingly affected by his encounters with the Samurai, which places him at the center of a fight between two eras and two worlds.
‘The Last Samurai’ also involves Timothy Spall, Ken Watanabe, Billy Connolly, Tony Goldwyn, Hiroyuki Sanada, Koyuki, Shichinosuke Nakamura, Shun Sugata, Seizo Fukomoto, Masata Harada, and Shin Koyamada, among others.
‘The Last Samurai’ is under the production of Warner Bros. Pictures.
