Akira Kurosawa regisserar detta japanska action drama baserat på Shakespeare's 'King Lear'.<br/>Mot slutet av Sengoku-epoken (1467-1582) var de olika klanerna i det japanska öriket inblandade i blodiga bataljer för att värna sina landområden. En mäktig härskare vid namn Hidetora Ichimonji vill på sin ålders höst dra sig tillbaka. Inför sina främsta vasaller överlåter han efter en lyckad vildsvinsjakt sina tre borgar åt sina tre söner och utser samtidigt den äldste, Taro, till klanens överhuvud. Den yngste sonen, Saburo, som omedelbart förutser stridigheter mellan de äldre bröderna Taro och Jiro, vägrar att acceptera faderns beslut. Han anklagar vidare den gamle mannen för att vara åderförkalkad. Hidetora blir rasande och förvisar Saburo från sitt rike . . . Maktlystnad, hat och passioner leder till våldsamma strider och Jiro blir den ende överlevande av klanen.
