Au Moyen Age, la tranquillité d’un petit village japonais est troublée par les attaques d’une bande de pillards. Sept samouraïs sans maître acceptent de défendre les paysans impuissants.

An iconic classic, and perhaps a prototype of the modern blockbuster: with stylish set pieces and action sequences epic in scale, an intricate narrative that demands repeat viewings, and a compelling central relationship between its samurai and the villagers they are assigned to protect.
