Jordan's Comment: "In imperial Japan, four samurai stand accused of committing a horrifying crime. Each of the four has his own version of what happened that day, in the deep, dark woods. Who is telling the truth? What is 'truth' when you're watching a movie?"

Trivia: In the downpour scenes showing the Rashomon Gate, Kurosawa found that the rain in the background simply wouldn't show up against the light gray backdrop. To solve this problem, the crew ended up tinting the rain by pouring black in into the tank of the rain machine.
