Settle in for Miami's theatrical HD premiere of Akira Kurosawa's classic flick about a poor village that hires a band of samurai to protect them from bandits, which features duels decided with a single stroke of the sword, sick battle scenes with lances and horses, and inspired lots of today's flicks, including the "gathering of heroes" concept seen in The Dirty Dozen, Ocean's Eleven, and, many argue, Men at Work.
