Three Outlaw Samurai (Japanese: 三匹の侍, Hepburn: Sanbiki no Samurai) is a 1964 Japanese chambara film directed and co-written by Hideo Gosha in his feature-length debut.
The film is an origin-story offshoot of Gosha's 1963 Japanese television series of the same name, with the same lead actors, Tetsuro Tamba, Isamu Nagato, and Mikijirō Hira. The film involves a wandering ronin who finds himself involved with two other samurai who are hired to execute a band of peasants who have kidnapped the daughter of a corrupt magistrate.
