URGENT NOTE: The picture and sound quality and the English subtitles on Mei Ah's Kurosawa DVDs are horrible. Apparently the Japanese dialogue was translated into Chinese, then the Chinese translated into English. We cannot accept returns for complaints of this nature. Please do not purchase these DVDs if you will be unhappy with their poor quality.

Avg. Rating:	4.4 / 5 (based on 6 ratings). What did you think of it?
Plot:	This superb Japanese adventure film centers around a faithful but cynical general who, with the aid of two eccentric, oddball farmers, helps a headstrong princess safely cross a dangerous wasteland.
Overview:	A general and a princess must dodge enemy clans while smuggling the royal treasure out of hostile territory with two bumbling, conniving peasants at their sides; it's a spirited adventure that only Akira Kurosawa could create. Acknowledged as a primary influence on George Lucas' Star Wars, The Hidden Fortress delivers Kurosawa's inimitably deft blend of wry humor, breathtaking action and humanist compassion on an epic scale.
