Wealthy industrialist Kingo Gondo (Toshiro Mifune) has raised money to take a majority stake in the shoe company where he has worked most of his life. His plans are threatened by the kidnapping of his son's playmate - a mistake, since the kidnapper was actually targeting his son. Paying the ransom would mean Gondo's financial ruin.

The dark film enhanced Kurosawa's international fame and was highly influential. To this day: this summer Spike Lee's adaptation Highest 2 Lowest will be released, featuring Denzel Washington in the role played by Kurosawa's regular actor Toshiro Mifune in the original.
