"The glorious vigour and strength of this film is presented with such theatrical relish and flair" ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

The Guardian

Rice farmers hire a band of samurai to defend them against marauding bandits in Akira Kurosawa’s influential epic, a touchstone for action movies ever since. Ranked at number 20 in the Sight & Sound's 2022 Greatest Films of All Time critics’ poll.

Akira Kurosawa followed the breakthrough international acclaim for Rashomon (1950) and Ikiru (1952) with this three-and-a-half-hour jidaigeki (period drama) set during Japan’s turbulent 16th century. Strongly influenced by the poetic westerns of John Ford, Kurosawa’s story of farmers recruiting a motley troupe of samurai to help them fend off bandits in turn had a huge impact on subsequent westerns and action films.
