Short description

In feudal Japan, during a bloody war between clans, two cowardly and greedy peasants, soldiers of a defeated army, stumble upon a mysterious man who guides them to a fortress hidden in the mountains.

What's left behind the scenes

George Lucas noted the influence of the film *Three Outlaw Samurai* on the plot construction of the *Star Wars* cycle (specifically pointing to the parallel between the robots C-3PO and R2-D2 and the peasants Tahei and Matashichi). General Makabe is considered the prototype of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
