In 16th-century Japan, the residents of a small farming hamlet find they are incapable of defending themselves from a group of marauding bandits. To salvage their livelihoods, the villagers entreat a number of masterless samurai, or ronin, to protect them, their families and crops. (Madman Entertainment)
