Seven Samurai (1954) (PG)

Dir. Akira Kurosawa | 1954 | 206 mins plus intermission of 5 mins 10s at 106 mins | Japanese with English Subtitles 

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.
