Brand new 4K restoration in celebration of the film's 70th anniversary! One of the most thrilling movie epics of all time, SEVEN SAMURAI (SHICHININ NO SAMURAI) tells the story of a sixteenth-century village whose desperate inhabitants hire the eponymous warriors to protect them from invading bandits.

This three-hour ride from Akira Kurosawa—featuring legendary actors Toshiro Mifune and Takashi Shimura—seamlessly weaves philosophy and entertainment, delicate human emotions and relentless action, into a rich, evocative, and unforgettable tale of courage and hope.

Please note: Screenings includes a 10 minute intermission.



Widely considered one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century, Akira Kurosawa created transcendent works of art that challenged cinematic limitations, illuminating the universal truths of the human condition. The Coolidge is thrilled to present this retrospective of eleven new restorations of his films this August!
