Snow Trail (Japanese: 銀嶺の果て, Hepburn: Ginrei no Hate) is a 1947 black-and-white Japanese film directed by Senkichi Taniguchi from a screenplay by Akira Kurosawa. It was the first film role for Toshirō Mifune, later to become one of Japan's most famous actors. Mifune and the other main actor in the film, Takashi Shimura, later became long-term collaborators of Kurosawa.
Plot
Three bank robbers (Mifune, Takashi Shimura, and Yoshio Kosugi) on the run from the police hide out high up in the snowy Japanese mountains in a remote lodge inhabited by an old man, his granddaughter and an intrepid mountaineer (Akitake Kono) trapped there by a recent blizzard. They don't know that the men are criminals, and a tense standoff starts to unfold.
