seven samurai (1954)

aka Shichinin no samurai
"By protecting others, you save yourselves."
Farmers in fuedal Japan decide enough is enough after a raid by bandits takes all their crops. So they decide to hire a veteran samurai (Takashi Shimura) for protection. Taking pity on them he gathers six other samurai to join him, (including Toshirô Mifune).
A film with a classic reputation, bolstered by many homages made following it from The Magnificent Seven through to Battle Beyond The Stars.
