Game Changer Special | Kurosawa

Kurosawa’s thrilling epic tells the story of desperate villagers in a sixteenth-century village who hire seven samurai to protect them from bandits. This influential action-adventure film had a huge impact on later westerns and action movies.

This monumental action-adventure — starring the legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura — weaves philosophy and entertainment, subtle human emotions and relentless action into a rich, vivid historical thriller and moral-political fable all in one.

A village of rice farmers hires a group of samurai to defend them against marauding bandits. 4K restoration by Toho.
