A starving village hires seven ronin against bandits. Three and a half hours that established the assemble a team plot: The Magnificent Seven remade it directly, and every heist and rescue story since owes it rent. Rain, mud, telephoto battle chaos, and Mifune at full wildness. Kurosawa action has weight: heroism costs lives. The blueprint for the action epic.
