Starring [[Keanu Reeves]] and [[Hiroyuki Sanada]], the film was produced by H2F Entertainment, Mid Atlantic Films, [[Moving Picture Company]] and Stuber Productions, and was released theatrically by [[Universal Studios|Universal Pictures]] on December 25, 2013 in the United States. The film received generally negative reviews from critics while also receiving praise for the action sequences and visuals. ''47 Ronin'' grossed $151 million against its total budget of $175 million, making it a [[box office bomb]] which left Universal deeply in the red for 2013.<ref name="start">{{cite news | url=https://variety.com/2013/film/news/47-ronin-box-office-bomb-1201012170 | title=‘47 Ronin’: The Inside Story of Universal’s Samurai Disaster | work=Variety.com | date=December 30, 2013 | accessdate=February 28, 2014 }}</ref> Adjusted for inflation, it lost an estimated $152 million.

When Kai was young, Asano adopted him as a foundling. Asano's daughter Mika and Kai eventually fall in love, despite Kai being scorned by her father's samurai due to his mixed ancestry. Before a planned visit from [[Shōgun]] [[Tokugawa Tsunayoshi]], Asano is visited by the Shōgun's master of ceremonies, Lord [[Kira Yoshinaka|Kira]], who wants to take Akō for himself. Kira enlists the help of a shapeshifting [[Kitsune]] named Mizuki who sends a [[Qilin|Kirin]] to kill Asano in the forest of Ako. Asano's samurai struggle in their battle with the monster so Kai joins in riding an abandoned horse. As the monster charges him, Kai recovers a lost sword that he uses to slay it. Shortly thereafter he spots Mizuki disguised in her white fox form with [[Heterochromia iridum|different colored eyes]]. Later during the Shōgun's visit, Kai sees that one of the Shōgun's concubines has the same multi-colored eyes. He tries to warn Asano's principal counselor and samurai, [[Ōishi Yoshio|Oishi]], that there is a Witch amongst Kira's household; but Oishi dismisses his warning. Later, Kira arranges a duel for the entertainment of the Shōgun: Kira's best warrior, the giant Golem Samurai, will battle a warrior of Asano's choosing. However, before the duel begins, Mizuki uses her magic to incapacitate Asano's combatant. Kai secretly dons his armor and fights in his stead, but his disguise is revealed and the Shōgun orders him severely beaten as punishment. Later that night, Mizuki uses her magic to make Asano believe that Kira is raping Mika, causing him to attack an unarmed Kira in his delirium. Asano is sentenced to death for attacking a [[Bakufu#Shogunate|Shogunate]] official, though the Shōgun allows him to die with honor through [[seppuku]]. The Shōgun then gives Kira both the Akō domain and Mika, although he grants Mika one year to mourn the death of her father before marrying Kira. The Shōgun also brands Oishi and his men [[ronin]] and forbids them from seeking vengeance for Asano's death. To ensure that the ronin do not interfere with his takeover plans, Kira imprisons Oishi in an outdoor pit to break his spirit. Nearly a year later, Oishi is released by Kira's men. He now knows that Kira is guilty of treachery for using Mizuki's sorcery to cause Asano's downfall. Oishi reunites with his family and asks his son Chikara to aid him in reuniting the scattered ronin. They learn that Kai has been sold into slavery and Oishi rescues him from the fighting pits of the Dutch colony of [[Dejima]]. Kai leads them to the [[Tengu]] Forest, a mystical place he escaped from as a child, so that they can find swords for themselves. Kai instructs Oishi to never draw his sword while in the Tengu temple and continues alone to another room to face the Tengu Master, who once trained Kai in their fighting ways. While Kai confronts the Tengu Master in a battle of wills, Oishi watches an illusion of his men being slaughtered by the Tengu, during which he fights the urge to draw his own sword. With Kai and Oishi both successful in their Tengu challenges, the ronin are given Tengu swords. Armed with their new weapons, the ronin plan to attack Kira on his pilgrimage to a shrine where he seeks blessings for his wedding to Mika. However, Kira's procession is a trap and the ronin are ambushed by Kira's forces, led by Witch and her companion Samurai. Several of the ronin are killed, and Mizuki, thinking they are all dead, takes Oishi's sword and presents it to Kira as a trophy. Mizuki later taunts Mika with their deaths and attempts to manipulate her into committing suicide from despair. Oishi and Kai (having actually survived the attack) rally the surviving ronin. Oishi, Kai, and half of the ronin infiltrate Kira's castle by disguising themselves as a band of traveling wedding performers loyal to the memory of Lord Asano. With Kira's men distracted during the performance, the remaining ronin scale the castle walls, and the reunited groups start to battle with Kira's men. While Oishi fights Kira, Kai and Mika are attacked by Mizuki, who shape-shifts into a dragon. Kai uses his sword and draws on the mystical powers of the Tengu to finally kill her. After gutting him, Oishi emerges with Kira's severed head and Kira's men surrender. After winning the battle, the ronin (including Kai) surrender themselves to Shogunate authority and are sentenced to death as they explicitly violated the Shōgun's prohibition on avenging Asano. However, the Shōgun finds that they followed the principles of [[Bushido]] in their actions and, therefore, restores their honor as samurai. Thus, instead of execution, the ronin are allowed to perform seppuku. They are also given the honor of burial with their master, Lord Asano. The Shōgun gives Akō back to Mika, and at the seppuku ceremony, he pardons Oishi's son Chikara so that he may serve Akō and preserve Oishi's bloodline for the country. A closing caption informs the audience of the tradition of paying respect at the graves of the 47 Ronin which continues every year on [[December 14]]. ==Cast== <!-- Cast as billed per [[WP:CASTLIST]] --> <!-- Roles as listed in the Cast list in film --> <!-- Actors billed 1 per screen --> {{div col}} * [[Keanu Reeves]] as Kai, an adopted outcast in the household of Lord Asano who joins the Ronin.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite news | url=http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=74822 | title=''47 Ronin'' Start of Principal Photography Announced | website=ComingSoon.net | date=March 1, 2011 | accessdate=March 10, 2011 }}</ref> Reeves' character is half-Japanese and half-English; the character was created for the film.<ref name="japanese" /> * [[Hiroyuki Sanada]] as [[Ōishi Yoshio|Oishi]], the leader of the Rōnin.<ref name="start"/> * [[Tadanobu Asano]] as [[Kira Yoshinaka|Lord Kira]], Lord Asano's rival [[daimyō]].<ref name="start" /> * [[Rinko Kikuchi]] as Witch, an [[odd-eyed]] sorceress who serves Lord Kira<ref name="start" /> * [[Kou Shibasaki|Ko Shibasaki]] as Mika, Lord Asano's daughter and Kai's love interest.<ref name="start" /> * [[Min Tanaka]] as [[Asano Naganori|Lord Asano]], the former master of the Rōnin. * [[Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa]] as [[Tokugawa Tsunayoshi|Shōgun Tsunayoshi]] <!-- Billed 2 per screen--> * [[Jin Akanishi]] as Chikara, Oishi's son.<ref>{{cite news | last=Pang | first=Lauren | url=http://asiapacificarts.usc.edu/w_apa/showarticle.aspx?articleID=16644 | title=Jin Akanishi set to star in 47 Ronin | work=Asia Pacific Arts | publisher=[[University of Southern California]] | date=April 14, 2011 }}</ref> * [[Masayoshi Haneda]] as Yasuno <!-- Billed 3 per screen--> * Hiroshi Sogabe as Hazama * Takato Yonemoto as Basho * Hiroshi Yamada as Hara <!-- Billed 3 per screen--> * [[Yorick van Wageningen]] as Kapitan * [[Masayuki Deai]] as Isogai * Shu Nakajima as Horibe <!-- Billed 3 per screen--> * [[Togo Igawa]] as [[Sōjōbō|Tengu Lord]] * Natsuki Kunimoto as Riku * [[Gedde Watanabe]] as Troupe Leader (Kabuki Actor) * [[Rick Genest]] as Foreman * Daniel Barber as Teen Kai {{div col end}} ==Production== ''47 Ronin'' marked the directorial debut of Carl Rinsch based on a screenplay by ''[[The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift]]'' screenwriter [[Chris Morgan (writer)|Chris Morgan]] with ''[[The Wings of the Dove]]'' screenwriter [[Hossein Amini]] brought in for rewrites.
