Seven Samurai trailer
Seven Samurai (1954), directed by Akira Kurosawa, is an action film and is available to stream on 13 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 8.6/10 and 100% on Rotten Tomatoes from 4,233 ratings, it consistently ranks among the most acclaimed films in its genre. Released in 1954, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1950s action, and remains widely watched decades later.
The film stars Toshirō Mifune, Takashi Shimura, and Yoshio Inaba. At 207 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.
If you're looking to watch Seven Samurai online, the best option is HBO Max Amazon Channel for subscribers, and it's also included with Criterion Channel and Max, so subscribers to any of those services can watch without an additional rental. Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Google Play Movies. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Paper Moon and Ran, both of which are available to stream right now.
