YesAsia Editorial Description

Kurosawa classic Hidden Fortress gets a blockbuster makeover in the 2008 epic remake The Hidden Fortress: The Last Princess (a.k.a. Kakushi Toride no San Akunin: The Last Princess). Director Higuchi Shinji's last two films, The Sinking of Japan and Lorelei, are good indicators of what's new on the menu. Keenly aware of how to make a film a cinematic event, Higuchi updates the classic story with thrilling action, striking special effects, and idol leads, while at the same time retaining the original's core narrative and themes. Nagasawa Masami (Crying Out Love in the Center of the World) stars as the naive spoiled princess whose eyes are opened by her journey into the real world, and popular actor Hiroshi Abe (Trick) steps into the hallowed shoes of Mifune Toshiro to play her grizzled samurai protector. Arashi's Matsumoto Jun (Hana Yori Dango: Final), in a role greatly expanded in comparison to the original film, plays the hot-blooded peasant who becomes the princess's unlikely hero and romantic interest.

After the Akizuku clan fall in defeat to rival clan Yamana, Princess Yuki (Nagasawa Masami) and general Rokurota (Hiroshi Abe), take cover in a hidden fortress, along with their clan and gold treasury. Fortuitously stumbling into the hideaways, brash young miner Takezo (Matsumoto Jun) and his bumbling sidekick Shinhachi (Miyagawa Daisuke) hatch a daring plan to help transport the gold out of enemy terrain - in exchange for a share of the stash, of course. With assassins hot in pursuit, Yuki disguises as a male and ventures into the real world with Rukurota and her peasant companions, getting her first taste of danger, toil, and budding romance with the strong-minded and willful Takezo.

故事背景在弱肉強食的戰國時代。

  在某個地方,有三個國境相互鄰接的國家。面海且綠意盎然的早川與其同盟的小國秋月,跟想將霸權擴大的野心大國山名。一日,秋月被山名侵攻,在壓倒的大軍面前,秋月城陷落了。但是殘存下來秋月的公主(長澤雅美)與莫大的軍資金-黃金百貫卻從城內消失不見蹤跡……。

  受不了山內在秋月領內尋找隱藏黃金的過度勞役而逃亡的挖金師傅-武藏(松本潤),和新八(宮川大輔)偶然發現隱藏的黃金。馬上武藏他們的面前,出現了真壁六郎太(阿部寬)跟其弟。被六郎太奪走黃金的武藏,以脫出秋月領的奇策為代價要求分贓。這個奇策就是,直接穿越敵人的領地山名逃亡到早川的計謀!

  六郎太其實是殘存的秋月家臣,而自稱其弟其實就是秋月唯一剩存的公主-雪姬。他們一路逃到隱藏的堡壘,裡面率領秋月殘眾的城代家老-長倉和泉(國村隼)非常擔心武藏的奇策。而武藏跟辛巴在還沒分到錢以前,都以誘餌的身分一起同行。長倉和成了雪姬替身的六郎太之妹在送走前往一行人之後,後面跟著追來冷酷無比的山名大將-鷹山刑部(椎名桔平)……

  希望是自己掌握的武藏與新八,被負著希望的雪姬,希望能保護雪姬的鋼之武士-六郎太……

  面對的是鷹山刑部所率領的山名一萬大軍。

  掌握國家再興的命運,三惡人和美麗公主的決一生死戰。
