Inamura no Hi (1989)

In 1854, a massive earthquake strikes the Nankai region of Japan, triggering a devastating tsunami. Five samurai villagemen spot the towering wave approaching from the distance and desperately try to warn the local villagers to evacuate to higher ground. However, their warnings fall mostly on deaf ears, as the villagers are reluctant to abandon their homes and livelihoods.

Facing the imminent threat, the samurai resort to a drastic plan: they set fire to the threshed rice crops, knowing that the villagers will rush to the fields to save their only source of income. As the flames rise, almost every villager runs up to the hills to extinguish the fire, unknowingly fleeing to safety. Moments later, the tsunami crashes into the village below, destroying everything in its path. The villagers are saved from certain death, but the samurai's actions come at a great cost.
