在这部十三刺客动作/历史片中,在1963年的原版《十三刺客》电影和2010年由Miike Takashi重拍的电影之间，富士电视台制作了一个比这两部电影都要好得多的版本。这部由仲代达矢和夏八木勋主演的影片获得了丹波哲郎和田中健的大力支持，其是一部历史名著中关于武士正义的终极故事。尽管幕府将军同父异母的兄弟松田荣成患有刑事精神病，他也已被任命为罗州长老委员会的高级顾问。他的暴行导致他的一名高级随从在仪式上自杀，以抗议其领主的罪行。罗州议员土井对这些罪行保持警觉，要求监察长Shmada Shinzaemon在Naritsugu就座之前暗杀他。岛田召集了13人（包括他自己），开始了一段不畏死亡的旅程，在领主到达江户之前将他砍倒。一支由13名武士组成的队伍能否击败卑鄙的成龙的200名随从，并对他的残暴行为伸张正义呢？
In between the original 1963 13 ASSASSINS film and the 2010 remake by Miike Takashi, Fuji TV produced a vastly superior version to both. Starring Nakadai Tatsuya and Natsuyagi Isao, with strong support from Tanba Tetsuro and Tanaka Ken, this is the ultimate tale of samurai justice carried out in a historical masterpiece. The shogun's half-brother, Matsudaira Naritsugu has been slated to join the Roju Council of Elders as a senior adviser even though he is criminally insane. His outrageous acts cause one of his top retainers to commit ritual suicide in protest over his lord's crimes. Alerted to these crimes, Roju Councilor Doi asks Inspector General Shmada Shinzaemon to assassinate Naritsugu before he can be seated on the council. Gathering a band of 13 (including himself), Shimada sets out on a death-defying journey to cut down the lord before he can reach Edo. Can a band of 13 samurai defeat the vile Naritsugu's 200 man entourage and enact justice against his cruelty?
