Director: Akira Kurosawa

Cast: Toshihiro Mifune, Takashi Shimura

Region: All (bonus Blu-ray Region B)

Akira Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI, one of the greatest films of all time, has influenced the work of directors from George Lucas to Steven Spielberg, and spawned remakes, most notably John Sturges’ acclaimed The Magnificent Seven. 

In 16th-century Japan, a village is repeatedly attacked by merciless bandits, and village farmers ask an elderly, masterless samurai (Takashi Shimura) for help, offering nothing but food in return. He hesitantly agrees and assembles a band of warriors (the eponymous SEVEN SAMURAI) to defend and train the villagers.

Boasting terrific performances (with Shimura and Toshiro Mifune – as a peasant masquerading as a samurai – particularly memorable), superb camerawork, and expertly mounted battle sequences, Seven Samurai is undoubtedly one of the greatest action movies ever made.

Newly restored by Toho in 4K and released by the BFI on 4K UHD for the first time with a bonus feature Region B Blu-ray disc.
