Description

Toshirô Mifune stars in this Japanese historical action drama sequel directed by Akira Kurosawa. Wandering samurai Sanjuro Tsubaki (Mifune) 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. The cast also includes Tatsuya Nakadai, Yunosuke Ito and Masao Shimizu.
