About this product
Product Information
During a civil war in 16th-century feudal Japan, two cowardly farmers (Minoru Chiaki and Kamatari Fujiwara) stumble upon Makabe (Toshiro Mifune), a fierce army general. Escaping from hostile territory, General Makabe embarks on a mission to rescue both Yukihime (Misa Uehara), the willfull princess of his ruling house, and the royal fortune. In the selfish hopes of finding the gold, the two misfits accompany the hardened soldier through dangerous mountain passes.<BR>In addition to its status as one of Akira Kurosawa's finest films, THE HIDDEN FORTRESS is especially notable for its influence on director George Lucas's STAR WARS. Lucas admittedly borrowed much from Kurosawa's lighthearted epic; the two bickering misfits were likely the inspiration for R2-D2 and C-3PO, while Princess Leia was largely patterned after the feisty Lady Yukihime. Both Luke Skywalker and Han Solo contain elements of General Makabe, but neither character matches Mifune's disciplined ferocity.Product Identifiers

The Hidden Fortress.
Classic film that inspired other film makers. the two arguing friends (central to the film) inspired George Lucas to write the robot characters C3PO and R2D2. Kurasawa was a highly influential and inspired director.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The original inspiration for Star Wars
The original inspiration for Star Wars, by a director who knows how to weave narrative and characters. If you’ve never seen it, then you should add it to the list, one of his masterpieces alongside Yojimbo and Roshomon.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
