A sumptuous and at times super-charged swordplay fantasy, Gojoe puts the spin on one of Japan's most popular feudal legends: the battle at Kyoto's Gojoe Bridge. The basic storyline is simple: warriors of the Heike clan get their heads chopped off by an invisible force at Gojoe bridge. Benkei/Daisuke Ryu, a former Buddhist monk plagued by the demons of his own past, sets out to destroy the evil force that lurks at Gojoe, aided by his grave-robbing sidekick Tetsukichi/Masatoshi Nagase. They soon discover that the perpetrator is in fact a young warrior, a former Heike lord named Shanao/Tadanobu Asano, out for revenge against his own clan which ordered the death of his family.
