Synopsis
Sanjuro, a wandering samurai enters a rural town in nineteenth century Japan. After learning from
the innkeeper that the town is divided between two gangsters, he plays one side off against the other. His
efforts are complicated by the arrival of the wily Unosuke, the son of one of the gangsters, who owns a
revolver. Unosuke has Sanjuro beaten after he reunites an abducted woman with her husband and son,
then massacres his father's opponents. During the slaughter, the samurai escapes with the help of the
innkeeper; but while recuperating at a nearby temple, he learns of innkeeper's abduction by Unosuke, and
returns to the town to confront him.
