# Eleven Samurai (1966)

1966 · 100 min · Action · Japan

Original title: 十一人の侍

## Synopsis

Eleven Samurai , also known as 11 Samurai, is a 1967 Japanese jidaigeki film directed by Eiichi Kudo. This is the third and final chapter in Kudo's Samurai Revolution trilogy. The plot is a samurai epic with a loose historical basis. "The young Lord Nariatsu was probably modeled after the real life figure of Matsudaira Nariyoshi, also known as Matsudaira Tokunosuke (1819-1839)," who was the 19th or the 20th son of the Shōgun Ienari (1787–1837) and the younger brother of the Shōgun Ieyoshi (1837–1853). "Nariyoshi died when he was 19 years old--a perfect fit for this story. The circumstances surrounding his death are obscure, which is also very convenient for dramatic purposes."
