As the plague tears through medieval Europe, a knight (Max von Sydow), returning from the crusades, challenges Death to a game of chess in order to postpone his demise. An allegorical masterpiece asking big questions about faith and superstition, Ingmar Bergman's iconic The Seventh Seal remains one of cinema’s most important and influential films.
