En 1876, le capitaine Nathan Algren vit avec les souvenirs des batailles sanglantes menées contre les Sioux. Fort de son expérience au combat, il devient conseiller militaire pour le compte de l'empereur japonais soucieux d'ouvrir son pays aux traditions et au commerce occidentaux et d'éradiquer l'ancienne caste guerrière des samouraïs. Mais ceux-ci influent sur le capitaine Algren, qui se trouve bientôt pris entre deux feux, au coeur d'une confrontation entre deux époques et deux mondes avec, pour le guider, son sens de l'honneur.
