Hidden Fortress, The
AKIRA KUROSAWA RESTORED CLASSICS! A grand-scale adventure, THE HIDDEN FORTRESS stars the inimitable Toshiro Mifune 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 humour, breathtaking action, and compassionate humanity.
