Goemon (2009)

The year is 1582 and the ruler of Japan, Oda Nobunaga, has been brutally murdered leaving the country in a state of

political chaos. Meanwhile, a chivalrous thief known as Goemon, whose loyalties lay with Nobunaga, has risen as a

hero figure amongst the populace thanks to his propensity for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Goemon’s

latest haul, stolen from one of his arch-enemies, includes a small wooden box of Western origin which he believes to be

worthless and accidentally bestows upon a young street urchin. In truth, the box is a priceless artifact – a true

Pandora’s box that holds a deep secret coveted and sought by Japan’s most powerful and deadly warlords. Realising

his error, Goemon seeks to regain possession of the box before it falls into the wrong hands. But its existence has also

attracted the interests of a legendary swordsman, Matahachi, the legendary ninja Hattori Hanzo, and Goemon’s

fearsome former friend and current rival, Saizo. With such a prize at stake, the stage is set for a series of bloody frays

between Japan’s most skilled and deadly ninjas and swordsmen in a conflict that will have a profound effect on the

countries future.
