Claim: Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957) is based on Macbeth, The Bad Sleep Well (1960) is based on Hamlet, and Ran (1985) is based on King Lear.
BLUF: Confirmed. All three attributions are accurate and well-documented. Throne of Blood (1957) adapts Macbeth to feudal Japan. The Bad Sleep Well (1960) draws from Hamlet (plus The Count of Monte Cristo). Ran (1985) adapts King Lear with sons replacing daughters.
Probability: Almost certain (95-99%) | Confidence: High
