Sanjuro

Toshiro Mifune shines as Sanjuro, the cunning samurai in Akira Kurosawa's film. Sanjuro guides a group of young, idealistic warriors on a mission to purge their clan of corruption, while challenging the conventional image of samurai. Offering a unique blend of humor, heroism and well-drawn characters, this film should not be missed by those who appreciate Mifune's magnetic performance and Kurosawa's masterful direction.

In a tumultuous town in late 19th-century Japan, a cunning ronin named Sanjuro Kuwabatake arrives, finding it divided by two ruthless gangsters: Ushitora and Seibei. He decides to play both sides against each other, initially posing as a bodyguard for each warlord. However, complications arise with the return of Unosuke, a dangerous gangster armed with a revolver. After facing brutal beatings and rescuing an abducted woman, Sanjuro's determination escalates.
