Shichinin no samurai The Seven Samurai (七人の侍 Shichinin no samurai, 1954 also known as Seven Samurai in the UK) is a movie by Akira Kurosawa starring Takashi Shimura and Toshiro Mifune. The film takes place in the war-ridden Japan of the 16th century (specifically, 1587/1588), where a village of farmers looks for ways to ward off a band of marauding robbers. Since they do not know how to fight, they hire seven ronin (masterless samurai) to fight for them. Kurosawa made The Seven Samurai because he wanted to make a real jidaigeki, a period-film that would present the past as meaningful, while also being an entertaining film.
