Japanese Summary:
『用心棒』(ようじんぼう)は、1961年(昭和36年)に公開された日本のアクション時代劇映画である。監督は黒澤明。続編といわれる作品として『椿三十郎』(1962年公開)がある。同時上映は森繁久彌の『社長道中記』。
からっ風が吹きすさぶ中、一人の風来坊の浪人が、桑畑に囲まれた宿場町へとやってくる。そこは賭場の元締めである馬目の清兵衛と、清兵衛の部下だったが跡目相続に不服を持って独立した丑寅一家の抗争によって廃れていた。2人はそれぞれ町の有力者である名主多左衛門と造酒屋徳右衛門を後見人にし、泥沼化した抗争は終わる気配がなく、町の産業である絹の取引きも中断したままであった。ふらりと立ち寄った居酒屋の権爺からあらましを聞いた浪人は、代金の代わりに宿場町を平穏にしてやるという。
English Summary:
Yojimbo (用心棒 Yōjinbō) is a 1961 samurai film directed by Akira Kurosawa. It tells the story of a rōnin, portrayed by Toshiro Mifune, who arrives in a small town where competing crime lords vie for supremacy. The two bosses each try to hire the newcomer as a bodyguard.
Based on the success of Yojimbo, Kurosawa's next film, Sanjuro (1962), was altered to incorporate the lead character of this film. In both films, the character wears a rather dilapidated dark kimono bearing the same family mon (likely the emblem of his former samurai clan, before he became a rōnin).
Hungarian Summary:
A tönkrement szamuráj, Szandzsuro állást keres a 19. századi Japánban. Ketten találnak rá: Tokuemon, a gyáros és Tazaemon, a kereskedő, akik háborúságot robbantanak ki, és mindegyik azt reméli, hogy sikerül megnyernie Szandzsurót mint jojimbót (mint testőrt). A becsületes Szandzsurónak sikerül ebben a helyzetben, amelyben nincs se jó, se rossz, a két bandát egymás ellen kijátszania. A banditák kiírtása után tovább járja útját.
