High and Low 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray presents Akira Kurosawa’s gripping fusion of crime thriller and social drama, starring Toshiro Mifune as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy executive whose life unravels when a kidnapper targets his household. Adapted from Ed McBain’s novel King’s Ransom, the film shifts from a tense, chamber-set negotiation into a sprawling police procedural, exposing sharp class divisions and the moral fractures of modern Japanese society. Kurosawa’s precision direction and Mifune’s towering performance make this one of the director’s most influential works.
