What better way to spend your Thursday night than to watch one of the 
greatest and most influential film ever made? Not only is "Seven 
Samurai" the largest undertaking by a Japanese film maker at that time, 
but it also became Japan's highest-grossing movie. Released in 1954, it 
left a huge impact on the modern film industry and is hailed as the 
first modern action movie.

"Seven Samurai" has a rather simple plot: seven samurai working together 
to defend a community from attack by bandits. Yet the film tells the 
samurai's story by taking us through an intricate mix of thrilling 
scenes, emotional drama, engaging characters, intensive thinking, and 
comic relief. Continuously ranked as one of the top films of all times, 
you do not want to miss out on the FREE showing of this timeless 
classic. Come out (bring your friends!) and see why critics from all 
over the world have been raving about this monumental film!


*** "Seven Samurai" is appropriately the first film to set off our Asian 
Pacific American Heritage Month Film Series. Join us the rest of April 
in watching the greatest films from a variety of Asian countries - FREE!!!
