Plot

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 clan's princess as they cross hostile territory, accompanied by a pair of bumbling peasants. This rip-roaring ride is among the director's most beloved films, and was a primary influence on George Lucas's Star Wars.
