Akira Kurosawa regisserar detta japanska action drama baserat på Shakespeare's 'King Lear'.<br/>Mot slutet av Sengoku-epoken (1467-1582) var de olika klanerna i det japanska öriket inblandade i blodiga bataljer för att värna sina landområden. En mäktig härskare vid namn Hidetora Ichimonji vill på sin ålders höst dra sig tillbaka. Inför sina främsta vasaller överlåter han efter en lyckad vildsvinsjakt sina tre borgar åt sina tre söner och utser samtidigt den äldste, Taro, till klanens överhuvud. Den yngste sonen, Saburo, som omedelbart förutser stridigheter mellan de äldre bröderna Taro och Jiro, vägrar att acceptera faderns beslut. Han anklagar vidare den gamle mannen för att vara åderförkalkad. Hidetora blir rasande och förvisar Saburo från sitt rike . . . Maktlystnad, hat och passioner leder till våldsamma strider och Jiro blir den ende överlevande av klanen.

In 'Yojimbo' (1961) wandering samurai Sanjuro Kuwabatake (Mifune) arrives in a rural town in 19th century Japan which is overrun with criminals and is being fought over by two rival gangs. Determined to free the townsfolk from the oppressive grip of the gangsters, Sanjuro sparks open war between the two sides in the hope that they will destroy each other. However, his plans are complicated by the arrival of Unosuke (Tatsuya Nakadai), the younger brother of one of the gang leaders who prefers guns to swords and upsets the balance of power in the town. In the sequel 'Sanjuro' (1962) Sanjuro Tsubaki encounters a clan of samurai who have been betrayed by the local superintendent. They had intended to present a formal accusation of corruption within their clan but would have been crushed by the superintendent's men had Sanjuro not defended them. Sanjuro soon finds himself embroiled in a plot to kidnap the local chamberlain and facilitate a power grab by the superintendent, but jaded as he is, Sanjuro feels he must also object to the behaviour of his fellow samurai.<br/><br/><i>Typ: Blu-ray / 4K Ultra HD (Restored)</i>
