Emperor

Japan 1945: General Douglas MacArthur was given a mission to decide the fate of a nation, the guilt of a leader, and the true price of peace.

As the Japanese surrender at the end of WWII, General Douglas McArthur assigns General Fellers to decide if Emperor Hirohito will be hanged as a war criminal. Influencing his ruling is his quest to find an exchange student he met years earlier in the U.S.
