"Set in Siberia, a wise Mongol guide is hired by a Russian crew of mapping surveyors whose captain becomes great friends with. Though the film is classy and adventurous, it is too full of cliches and easy philosophy to be even considered among Kurosawa's most interesting works."

Adventure, Soviet Union/Japan
