Details

A crook robs a cop, steals his pistol and finds himself caught up in a labyrinthine chase through Tokyo. Toshiro Mifune plays the young cop who obsessively tracks down the thief-turned-killer. Kurosawa builds the tension remorselessly, leading to a final climax that brings with it a desolate sense of lives distorted and wasted.
