Emperor is a 2013 American-Japanese drama film directed by Peter Webber (Hannibal Rising). On the orders of General Douglas MacArthur, Japan expert General Bonner Fellers 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. Fellers should help make a decision of special magnitude: Should the Emperor be brought to justice and sentenced to death?
