"THE" Hero's Journey.
In medieval Japan, a small farming town is constantly under attack by a band of bandits. One day, after the umpteenth attack, the villagers ask for advice from the oldest man in the place, who tells them to hire samurai who have fallen out of favor to defend them.
A delegation of them contacts a samurai who has lost his lord and who agrees to recruit several more men for the job. He will get the help of five proven warriors and another, a young man, who seems to be much less so, although he claims otherwise. Together they will stand up to the bandits.
