The incomparable Toshiro Mifune stars as Sanjuro, a wily samurai in Akira Kurosawa’s visually stunning and darkly comic Yojimbo (1961). To rid a terror-stricken village of corruption, Sanjuro enters a gang war between two evil clans and plays them against each other. Remade by Sergio Leone and Walter Hill, this exhilarating genre-twister remains one of the most influential and entertaining films of all time.
