One of director Akira Kurosawa's most celebrated samurai epics, Yojimbo, tells the story of the wandering ronin and masterful swordsman involved in a war between two competing crime bosses, each wanting to hire him as a bodyguard. Starring Toshiro Mifune in the titular role alongside Tatsuya Nakadai and Takashi Shimura, the film was later adapted, in some cases shot for shot, as the basis for director Sergio Leone's spaghetti Western, A Fistful of Dollars (1964) starring Clint Eastwood. Both films are often considered among the greatest and most influential ever made.
