Essential Art House: Hidden Fortress Summary Widely Remembered As The Film That Inspired George Lucas’s Star Wars, The Hidden Fortress Is One Of Akira Kurosawa’s Most Popular Works, A Thrillingly Choreographed And Cleverly Written Tale Of Chivalry And Greed In Medieval Japan, Featuring Toshiro Mifune As A Weary General In Charge Of Protecting A Princess (misa Uehara).

In one of the many classic collaborations between director Akira Kurosawa and his leading man Toshirô Mifune, this 1958 film tells the story of a warrior and a princess trying against all odds to return to their homeland with their fortune. Along the way, they are simultaneously assisted and thwarted by two itinerant and not too bright farmers with their own designs on the treasure, giving the story a subtle comic bent. The Hidden Fortress combines an epic tale of struggle and honor with modern comic sensibilities, creating a masterful addition to world cinema. --Robert Lane
