Akira Kurosawa's three-hour, black-and-white masterpiece. Set in 16th-century Japan, The Seven Samurai follows a bunch of ronin (masterless samurai) in their bid to defend a village from bandits. Kurosawa deflates the myth of the noble samurai without actually debunking it, and stages some great action sequences.
