Rice farmers hire a band of samurai to defend them against marauding bandits in Akira Kurosawa’s influential 1954 epic, a touchstone for action movies ever since. Featuring some of the greatest battle and action sequences ever filmed, and with memorable performances from the likes of Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura, Seven Samurai is a must-see experience on the big screen.
