In Emperor, General Douglas MacArthur (Jones) is sent to Japan immediately after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender in 1945 and suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation. He challenges his expert of Japanese culture—General Fellers (Fox)—to provide evidence in ten short days to decide if the Japanese Emperor, worshipped as a God by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved? The fate of a nation awaits... Based on the book His Majesty's Salvation by Shiro Okamoto. (Gary Reber)
