《武士的一分》是日本大導演山田洋次繼《黃昏清兵衛》、《隱劍鬼爪》的最新力作。「一分」意指「尊嚴」,「武士的一分」即是作為武士,所要承擔、遵循的責任與榮譽。

《武士的一分》是山田洋次「武士三部曲」的最後一部,也將是他最後一次將日本作家藤澤周平的小說改編成電影。新之丞的劍術雖然高強,卻僅是一個下級武士,職責是為藩主試菜,以確保膳食沒被人下毒。雖然他對職務並不滿意,但還是和美麗的妻子加世,以及親如生父的長輩德平一起過著平靜幸福的生活…。一天,新之丞一如往常為藩主試菜,但他吃了一口後突然感到強烈劇痛,隨即昏迷過去。被抬了回家的新之丞,雖在加世照料下僥倖撿回一條命,但他的世界卻從此和光明絕緣。為此他一度想自我了斷,幸好被加世發現,拼死阻止了他。不久,在新之丞姑姑波多野以寧的壓力之下,加世懇求頗具威望的番頭島田為新之丞增加俸祿,讓他們的生活不至拮据。島田不但大方首肯,還對新之丞讚譽有加,令新之丞重燃生存之光。然而,新之丞竟意外發現島田威脅、利誘加世與其幽會…,加世的趁夜離開,讓新之丞的愛化成灰燼。做為一名武士,他決不能容忍妻子為了金錢和虛榮而出賣愛情,即使這一切是迫於無奈。新之丞決定重新執劍,誓向島田要回武士的尊嚴…。

Shinnojo Mimura is a low-ranked samurai of the Unasaka clan living frugally with his beloved wife Kayo. 'I want to resign my post, and teach children fencing,' he confides, but a dark end comes to his time of blissful peace on the day that, as a poison taster to the lord of the clan, he goes blind. The duty that only a few days before he complained was a bore is one he can no longer perform. It is only Kiyo's pleading that persuades the despairing Shinnojo not to kill himself, but she falls into the clutches of the clan's Chief Duty Officer, Toya Shimada, trying to get him to put in a good word for her beloved husband. Shinnojo, feeling that this action is a betrayal that severs the matrimonial ties, announces that he is divorcing Kayo, and vows revenge.
