Movie Review - Last samurai

"The Last Samurai" is an adventure epic that triumphs over an initially preposterous premise: Tom Cruise as an American mercenary soldier in 19th-century Japan, fighting alongside a last rebellious band of samurai warriors
Cruise plays Capt. Nathan Algren, an embittered survivor of Custer's cavalry hired by the Japanese government in 1876 to train its ragtag but heavily armed conscripted armies. Their foes are the forces of General Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), samurais who refuse to lay down their arms.
