Shogun: 30th Anniversary Edition DVD

From best-selling author James Clavell (King Rat, Noble House) comes the sweeping award-winning story of love and war, set against the spectacular background of feudal Japan at the beginning of the 17th century. And Shogun has never looked better than it does on DVD in this thrilling presentation. Richard Chamberlain (TV’s ‘Dr Kildare,’ ‘The Thorn Birds’) stars as John Blackthrone, an English navigator shipwrecked off the coast of Japan. Rescued, he becomes an eyewitness to a deadly struggle involving Toranaga (Toshiro Mifune, Rashomon), a feuding warlord intent on becoming Shõgun – the supreme military dictator. At the same time, Blackthrone is irresistibly drawn into the turmoil and finds himself vying to become the first-ever gai-jin (foreigner) to be made a samurai warrior.
