Yojimbo
A nameless ronin, or samurai without master, passes a small village at Japan where both rival businessmen are struggling for control of their gambling transaction. Considering the name Sanjuro Kuwabatake, the ronin frees both interest retailer Tokuemon and merchant Tazaemon to hire him as your own bodyguard, then puts in motion a full-blown gang warfare between the two unscrupulous and ambitious men.
