The Hidden Fortress (1958)

4K remaster

A grand-scale adventure as only Akira Kurosawa could make one, 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. This rip-roaring ride is among the director’s most beloved films and was a primary influence on George Lucas’s Star Wars.
