Film Information

One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, Seven Samurai (Shichinin no samurai) tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits. This three-hour-plus ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.

Reviews

“Akira Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai (1954) is not only a great film in its own right, but the source of a genre that would flow through the rest of the century.”

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times (2001)

“The greatest action movie ever made.”

Desson Thomson
Washington Post (2002)

“The glorious vigour and strength of this film is presented with such theatrical relish and flair: its energy flashes out of the screen like a sword.”

Peter Bradshaw
Guardian (2021)
