In the early 16th Century, Japan was in the throes of civil wars and the farmers everywhere were being crushed, under the iron heels of cruel bandits.
That’s how the story line of the movie starts.
A village of farmers who are threatened by a group of bandits decide to hire samurai to protect them in exchange for nothing but three meals a day.
This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. The story is amazing and in such detail. Each character is important and there are several stories that emerge within the main plot.
It has action, comedy, drama and lots of people screaming and crying 
I do recommend it, if you like such movies.
It is about 3:30 hrs long, what I downloaded was in Japaneses with English subtitles. It’s in black and white.

Give it a try, maybe you’ll like it. Just expect lot of howling from both men and women. It’s interesting, kind of philosophical and gives you an insight of Japanese culture and way of life.
