Yedi Samuray(1954) Aksiyon Dram Usta Samurai Kambei'nin cesareti ve fedakarlığına şahit olan bir grup köylü ondan sürekli olarak haydutların baskınlarına uğrayan köylerini korumasını isterler. Kambei bu isteği herhangi bir çıkarı olmamasına rağmen kabul eder ve ilk olarak kısa süre sonra müridi olan genç samurai Katsushiro'yu, ardından da güç kullanmaya meraklı bir samurai olarak görünen, fakat sonradan bir çiftçinin oğlu olduğu ortaya çıkan Kikuchiyo'yu yanına alır. Takımına dört yeni samurai daha ekleyerek köyü savunmaya girişen Kambei köylüler tarafından sevinçle karşılanır ve herkesin sevgisini kazanır; bir süre sonra onlara kendilerini savunmayı öğretmeye başlar. Bu arada haydutlar köyün sınırlarında dolaşmakta ve yeni saldırıları için uygun bir zaman kollamaktadırlar...
