I had this mistaken notion that most of Akira Kurosawa movies were about samurais. Now that I'm watching them I realize he was more versatile than that. He also did noir which is the genre of this movie. A wealthy businessman gets a phone call about the kidnapping of his son. It's really the chauffeur's son though. Nevertheless, there's panic. He ends up giving the money to the crook and the rest of the film is spent as a police film. It's over two hours so choose to watch this on a day when you have time on your hands. It's a good movie. Toshiro Mifune is the lead star.
