Summary
Based on true events, Emperor brings to life the secret maneuvers that won peace in post-WWII Japan. General Douglas MacArthur (Tommy Lee Jones), now the de facto ruler of the devastated and hostile Empire, is faced with a difficult mission that will decide Japan's fate. To help him he assigns an expert in Japanese culture-and psychological warfare-General Bonner Fellers (Matthew Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved?
