เรื่องย่อ

In feudal Japan, a wandering ronin named Kambei Shimada stumbles upon a small village being pillaged by bandits. Moved by their desperation and vulnerability, Kambei decides to take on the task of protecting them in exchange for food and shelter. As he surveys the villagers' predicament, he realizes that they are defenseless against the marauders, who return regularly to claim their spoils. Kambei sets out to recruit a group of six samurai to join him in his mission. He selects each member carefully, taking into account their unique skills and personalities. There's Kikuchiyo, a charismatic but hot-headed peasant-turned-samurai; Shichiroji, a loyal and dependable warrior; Gorobei, a soft-spoken yet deadly marksman; Kyuzo, a stoic and unyielding fighter; Heihachi, a gruff and experienced veteran; and Toshiro Mifune's iconic character, Kikuchiyo's cousin, Kamo. Together, the seven samurai arrive in the village, where they meet the kindly but timid leader, Manzo. The villagers are initially wary of these outsiders, but Kambei's leadership and the samurai's various skills soon win them over. As the bandits return, the samurai train the villagers to defend themselves, using unconventional tactics like the "three-against-one" technique. As tensions rise and the final confrontation approaches, internal conflicts begin to emerge among the samurai. Kikuchiyo's impulsiveness clashes with Kyuzo's caution, while Gorobei's quiet nature belies his remarkable accuracy. Meanwhile, Heihachi's gruff demeanor hides a deep sense of loyalty and duty. As the bandits launch their final attack, the seven samurai face off against them in an epic battle that showcases their unique strengths and weaknesses. Kambei's leadership and strategic thinking are put to the ultimate test as he orchestrates the defense of the village. Through the climactic showdown, the film masterfully explores themes of honor, sacrifice, and camaraderie. In the end, only a few members of the samurai group survive, but their legacy lives on in the village they protected.
