The Hidden Fortress | Blu-ray & DVD (Criterion)
RELEASE DATE: March 18, 2014
Criterion presents the Blu-ray & DVD for 1958’s The Hidden Fortress. Akira Kurosawa directs this spirited period action-adventure in which two conniving peasants are tasked with smuggling a general, a princess and the remains of her family’s wealth through mountainous, hostile territory in feudal Japan. This rip-roaring ride is among the director’s most beloved films and was a primary influence on George Lucas’s Star Wars. Watch the trailer.
