520			_a"The epic adventure "The Hidden Fortress," directed by Akira Kurosawa in 1958 and set in feudal Japan, is well known for having influenced George Lucas's "Star Wars." The protagonists of the tale are a princess named Yuki and her devoted general named Rokurota, who must escape their kingdom when it is overrun by hostile armies. In order to move a secret gold stash, they seek the assistance of two foolish peasants named Tahei and Matashichi along the route. The party must traverse dangerous terrain and face numerous obstacles in this action-packed movie that deftly blends humor, drama, and action aspects. The film's lasting popularity is largely due to Kurosawa's inventive use of narrative perspective and dynamic cinematography, which highlight his talent for telling an engrossing story with depth and intensity."
