The UWM Union Theatre tonight screens one of director Akira Kurosawa’s masterpieces, 1958’s The Hidden Fortress, an epic about a Princess who fights through enemy territory with a handful of unlikely allies to return to her war-torn kingdom. If the story and its structure seem mighty familiar to western audiences, that’s because George Lucas borrowed from the film heavily for his first Star Wars movie.
The Hidden Fortress
Tonight @ UWM Union Theatre, 7 p.m.
