A grand scale adventure as only AKIRA KUROSAWA (Seven Samurai) could make one, The Hidden Fortress stars the inimitable TOSHIRO MIFUNE (Yojimbo) as a general charged with guarding his defeated clan's princess (a fierce MISA UEHARA) as the two smuggle royal treasure across hostile territory. Accompanying them are a pair of bumbling, conniving peasants who may or may not be their friends. This rip-roaring ride is among the director's most beloved films and was a primary influence on George Lucas's Star Wars. The Hidden Fortress delivers Kurosawa's trademark deft blend of wry humor, breathtaking action, and compassionate humanity.
