Production

Pride was directed by Shunya Itō and written by Hiroo Matsuda. This film was co-produced by Kanji Nakagawa and Masao Sato for Toei Company. Cinematography was handled by Yudai Kato, with editing by Takeo Araki. Music for the film was composed by Michiru Ōshima.

The film starred Masahiko Tsugawa as Hideki Tojo and Ayumi Ishida as his wife, Katsuko. American actors Scott Wilson and Ronny Cox appeared as Prosecutor Keenan and Justice Webb, respectively. Indian actor Suresh Oberoi played Radhabinod Pal, the lone dissenting judge – according to AllMovie's Jonathan Crow, the film's only non-Japanese hero. The film also featured Eiji Okuda, Naho Toda, Gitan Ōtsuru, and Anupam Kher.

Pride was not the first film to deal with the tribunal, also known as the "Tokyo Trial". A film by Masaki Kobayashi, titled Tokyo Trial, had been released in 1983. This film, based on US Department of Defense footage, had taken a similarly negative view of the trials and argued that the US had also committed war crimes during the 20th century.
