Seven Samurai

Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece tells the story of a group of 17th-century warriors recently detached from the powerful masters who once paid them. Veteran Samurai Kambei (Takashi Shimura) is the leader of the group who are hired by the residents of a village suffering at the hands of a marauding band of thieves. Five of his cohorts are trained warriors, but the sixth, Kikuchiyo (Toshir� Mifune), is actually the son of a farmer, desperate to earn his spurs on the battlefield.
