Last Knights is a 2015 action drama film directed by Kazuaki Kiriya and written by Michael Konyves and Dove Sussman, based loosely on (and Westernizing, for the most part) the Japanese legend of the forty-seven rōnin.[7][8] The film, a joint production between the UK, Czech Republic and South Korea, stars Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman in the lead roles. It centres on a band of warriors who seek to avenge the loss of their master at the hands of a corrupt minister.[9][10][11][12]
The film had its limited release on 3 April 2015, by Lionsgate and was released to video on demand on 30 June 2015.[13] The film was dedicated to the memory of actor Dave Legeno, who died in 2014.
