A gripping tale of love and honour forged between fierce enemies of war, inspired by true events and starring Matthew Fox and Tommy Lee Jones as General Douglas MacArthur. Immediately after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender, General MacArthur suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation. He challenges his expert of Japanese culture – General Bonner Fellers – to provide evidence in 10 short days to decide if the Japanese emperor, worshipped as a god by his people but accused of war crime, should be punished or saved. The fate of a nation awaits?
