Emperor is a 2013 American-Japanese movie directed by Peter Webber (Hannibal Rising). On the orders of General Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones), Japan expert General Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox) is sent to the devastated Tokyo of the immediate post-war period. There he is to search for Japan's main war criminals and investigate the situation of the Emperor of Japan. Although Emperor Hirohito is highly valued by his people, he is accused of serious war crimes.
