New 4K Restoration of Kurosawas much-loved classic.

A story of rival clans, hidden gold and a princess in distress, The Hidden Fortress is a thrilling mix of fairy story and samurai action movie. It was Kurosawas first film shot in the widescreen process of Tohoscope, and he exploited this to the full in the films rich variety of landscape locations, including the slopes of Mount Fuji.

The Hidden Fortress became Kurosawas biggest box office hit to date and won several awards, including the Golden Bear at the 1959 Berlin Film Festival. Some 20 years on, the films influence would have even greater impact on the world when George Lucas borrowed elements of its plot for the first of his Star Wars series.
