880-02 Toshiro Mifune, Minoru Chiaki, Kamatari Fujiwara, Susumu Fujita, Takashi Shimura, Misa Uehara.
A grand-scale adventure as only Akira Kurosawa could make one. A general charged with guarding his defeated clan's princess 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. Delivers Kurosawa's trademark deft blend of wry humor, and breathtaking action.
Blu-ray; region A; widescreen (2.39:1) presentation; DTS-HD Master audio ; requires Blu-ray player.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Star Wars anyone??? submitted by irenzero on June 11, 2022, 10:52am the basis for Star Wars, this is a fast paced Samurai adventure, worth checking out for the film, worth it for the bonus of seeing what Star Wars was riffing on.
