Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
"Shogun" is one of the most famous and award-winning television events in history. From best-selling author James Clavell comes the sweeping story of love and war, set against the brutal background of feudal Japan at the beginning of the 17th century. Richard Chamberlain stars as John Blackthorne, a sailor shipwrecked off the coast of Japan. Rescued, he becomes an eyewitness to a deadly struggle involving Toranaga, a feuding warlord intent on becoming 'Shogun' - the supreme military dictator. Blackthorne is irresistibly drawn to the magnificent Lady Mariko, the married confidant to Toranaga, while at the same time vying to become the first-ever foreigner to be made a samurai warrior.
For the first time on Blu-ray", this landmark television event is packed with fascinating special features that take you inside the spectacular world of 'Shogun'.
