Tengoku to Jigoku plot
"From Akira Kurosawa, director of "Yojimbo" and "Sanjuro" comes a tense, taut film of a modern "perfect crime" with more excitement than even Hitchcock could create."
At a pivotal point in his business life, Gondo (Toshiro Mifune) learns that his son has been kidnapped and that the ransom demanded is equal to the amount he's raised for a crucial business transaction. Gondo is willing to pay the ransom, that is, until he discovers that the kidnappers have kidnapped not his son, but the son of his driver. Now Gondo must decide whether the other man's child is worth as much as his own son.
