A nameless samurai with no master enters a small village in feudal Japan where two rival businessmen are struggling for control of the local gambling trade. The stranger convinces both the warring silk merchant and sake merchant to hire him as a personal bodyguard, or yojimbo, and then artfully sets in motion a full-scale gang war between the two ambitious and unscrupulous men…
« As effortlessly engaging as it is widely influential, Yojimbo represents Kurosawa at the peak of his powers – and lays the groundwork for the modern American western. » (Rotten Tomatoes)
« Rousing, good story, told with vigor and visual excitement by Akira Kurosawa, and splendidly acted by Toshiro Mifune, this has ideal remake material for a Yank company. » (Variety)
