Details

• Genre: Action, Crime, Drama, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: The incomparable Toshiro Mifune stars in Akira Kurosawa's visually stunning and darkly comic Yojimbo (The Bodyguard). In order to rid a village of corruption, masterless samurai Sanjuro turns a territory war between two evil clans to his own advantage.
