Challenge #7: Trivia II

[onions]

Greetings! I apologize for the delay, for work decided to kick me in the sarlacc. I"ll get back on track with the challenges starting with this one. This is the second trivia question and should be pretty easy: The storytelling device of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was borrowed from a foreign film. Name that film's director.

Easy as pie. One guess per entry. You have 24 hours to complete this challenge.

For complete rules and regulations, visit the announcement thread

Just in case you're going for a more complete answer, Akira Kurosawa.

I have this, um, friend, who, uh, doesn't understand what the question is. Could you maybe explain what exactly this means, because, like, he doesn't quite know what to Google to find out for himself.

Aw crap, i know it was some Japanese film. Was it possibly Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress?
