Seven Samurai
The film revolves around a series of adventures. The film tells the story of a village whose members belong to the peasantry class and suffer from successive campaigns by mercenary thieves who leave nothing but the loot of the farmer's crop. In the minds of these vulnerable farmers, the idea of using heavy Samurai warriors to protect them from thieves' brutality is created. But there remains a problem: farmers are very poor and they do not have to hire warriors. Here begins the journey of the film in search of Samurai noble and honorable accept loving assistance in good for himself and a desire to support the weak.
