The Loyal 47 Ronin

A group of loyal samurai, once loyal to their lord, band together to avenge his death at the hands of a deceitful court official named Kira.

A group of samurai became masterless after their Lord was forced to commit ritual suicide for assaulting a court official who had insulted him. They waited and planned for over a year before executing a daring assault on the official's estate, exacting revenge, and knowing they would have to commit ritual suicide in atonement.
