Samurai 7 (2004)

In the swirling midst of an alternate feudal Japan, where behemoth mechas and majestic airships are daily sights, exists a humble village. Every harvest season, like clockwork, ruthless bandits descend upon this idyllic settlement, plundering their hard-earned bounty. At the end of their tether, the villagers hatch a desperate plan: to venture into the city and enlist the services of samurai to shield their land. Their currency? Not gold or silver, but rice, offered freely to any samurai willing to defend them. Their predicament attracts only those samurai on their uppers, those with nothing to lose. The pivotal question remains - will these villagers find samurai brave and desperate enough to liberate them from the relentless grip of the bandits? This heart-tugging tale of resilience and survival weaves a rich tapestry of drama and action.
