Kurosawa’s masterpiece of masterpieces, SEVEN SAMURAI tells the story of a ragtag group of lordless samurai who are brought together to defend a peasant village from a ruthless gang of bandits. Kurosawa creates a slow, deliberate story arc that leads inevitably to a massive battle sequence as the samurai and the villagers face down 40 mounted bandits. Few films have managed to tie amazing action with heart-wrenching emotion as effectively as SEVEN SAMURAI.
