(1964) Three Outlaw Samurai ((In Japanese with English subtitles) HISTORICAL ACTION DRAMA

Co-written and directed by Hideo Gosha, with samrai drifter, Sakon Shiba (Tetsurô Tanba) crossing with lowly farmers and peasants who was holding the magistrate's daughter, hoping to exchange her for lowering taxes.

Spoil And when a compromise was settled, of course the magistrate does not keep his word, and punishes both the farmers and the peasants even more, by hunting the ones who were responsible for the petition. Sakon the samurai drifter is double crossed and is tortured while being tied up, until Kyôjûrô Sakura (Isamu Nagato) conspires to have him set free. Meanwhile, the other samurai, Einosuke Kikyô (Mikijirô Hira) the magistrate supposed to have employed or hired, decides to join up with Sakon's cause, along with Kyôjûrô- hence the title, "Three Outlaw Samurai".
