[ Story ]

A live-action adaptation of an original script by Wada Ryo, whose novelization also went on to become a hit. Shot on a massive set, it presents an epic portrayal of Sengoku (Warring States) Period warlord Narita Nagachika, who fought back against a 20,000-strong enemy force with an army of 500 in the late 16th century. Its co-directors are Inudo Isshin, acclaimed for his skill in depicting the thoughts and feelings of his characters, and Higuchi Shinji, an exceptionally talented special effects specialist.
Narita Nagachika (Nomura Mansai) has come to be called "Nobou-sama" (Lord Bonehead) by his subjects. Toward the end of the Sengoku Period, his land comes under attack by general Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who aims to unite Japan under one leader. However, Narita refuses to surrender, and instead barricades himself inside Oshi Castle.
