Seven come to its aide, and with its barley crop harvesting in a few weeks, there is not much time to prepare.After squaring away their own individual differences, the samurai fortify the village and its people, and plan a meticulous strategy to take on the bandits. In an epic, intense battle, four of the seven are killed, but the villagers win in the end.
Legacy
Seven Samurai is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, with a perfect 100% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.Critics praise its well-captured action sequences and narrative form, which started a genre that is still seen in movies to this day. The Magnificent Seven, Ocean's Eleven, The Dirty Dozen, Three Amigos and many other ensemble films have borrowed from Seven Samurai.
The film also marked one of only a handful of Kurosawa films that were well-received in both the West and in his home country.
