Seven Samurai – 4k Restoration

An epic primal myth that pulsates through cinema ” Peter Bradshaw, Gaurdian

One of the most thrilling move epics of all time, SEVEN SAMURAI tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits.

This blockbuster journey from master director Akira Kurosawa – featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura – seamlessly weaves delicate human emotions and relentless action into a rich, entertaining and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.

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