Seven Samurai is in 4K


For its 70th anniversary, the classic is coming to New York and Los Angeles.

Arguably the crowning achievement of one of the world’s most lauded filmmakers, the film depicts a small village in the 16th century that is threatened by bandits. To protect themselves from the invaders, the farmers go in search of ronin — master-less samurai for hire — who can ward off the marauders and keep the village safe. Still, Seven Samurai proved well worth it, becoming a box office success in Japan and, in the 70 years since its release, now considered one of the greatest films of all time.
