Seven Samurai
Director Zack Snyder said, "Bruce [Wayne] is having to go out and sort of ‘Seven Samurai’ the Justice League together” in the 2017 film "Justice League". According to Bryan Young of "Syfy Wire", the Marvel Cinematic Universe films "Avengers" (2012) and "Infinity War" (2018) also owe "a great debt to" "Seven Samurai", noting a number of similar plot and visual elements.
