Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7 - Vol. 3: From Farm to Fortress (DVD)

Based on Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa`s legendary martial-arts epic SEVEN SAMURAI, the action-packed anime series SAMURAI 7 offers an anachronistic spin on the film`s famous parable of vigilante justice. This time around, the story takes place in a futuristic feudal society ravaged by years of brutal warfare, where the lawless bandits terrorizing the rural countryside are a terrifying mutant amalgam of man and machine. One particularly poverty-stricken village decides to battle the mechanical menace by hiring a band of nomadic samurai for protection, resulting in a ragtag assemblage of masterful swordsmen with their fair share of personality quirks. This third volume continues the anime series with four more episodes. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
