Shingen, a powerful warload, has become as legendary as the motto emblazoned on his war banners. "Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as the fire, immovable as the mountain." As he lies dying from his battle wounds. Shingen orders his clan to find a double to replace him - to keep his death secret so that his enemies will not attack. The man chosen for this role is called Kagemusha (the shadow warrior). However this Kagemusha turns out to be a petty criminal who must somehow transfer himself into a great leader and command allegiance of 25,000 samurai warriors. An epic drama of feudal conflict in 16th centaury Japan. "Kagemusha" was nominated for two 1980 Academy Awards and was co-winner if the grand prize at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. It is a milestone in the career of Akira Kurasawa.
