Description
A desperate village hires seven samurai to protect it from marauders in this crown jewel of Japanese cinema. No other film so seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action. Probably the most well known Akira Kurosawa title, Seven Samurai inspired the U.S. remake Magnificent Seven.
