  • "A kidnapper out to snatch a wealthy manufacturer's son nabs his chauffer's kid by mistake. The wealthy man must then decide whether to pay the ransom and face financial ruin, or let the boy die. Meanwhile, police are on the kidnapper's trail."
  • "A crime thriller of startling suspense and complexity, in which the son of a wealthy manufacturer is thought kidnapped, but then it is discovered that the son of the chauffeur has been taken by mistake. Gondo is faced with the choice of either paying the ransom and facing financial ruin or letting a little boy die."
  • "Based on a novel by Ed McBain, High and Low is a gripping police thriller. Wealthy industrialist Kingo Gondo faces an agonising choice when a ruthless kidnapper, aiming to snatch his young son, takes the chauffeur's boy by mistake but still demands the ransom, leaving Gondo facing ruin if he pays up."
  • "In the first half a kidnapping takes place and a ransom is negotiated; the second half deals with the manhunt for the kidnapper. The Japanese title - Heaven and Hell - directly suggests exact opposites and more clearly encapsulates the theme. It begins in 'Heaven' - the apartment high over the city - and ends in 'Hell' - the alleyways of Yokohama. The first half is superficially theatrical in its refusal of conventional editing strategies but actually is notable for its subtle dramatic geometry involving permutations of position and composition afforded by the Scope screen. Multiple cameras were used to film long takes. The film suddenly opens out into an action-packed chase."
  • "A complex crime thriller in which the son of a chauffer is kidnapped, mistaken as the son of the chauffer's employer, a wealthy shoe manufacturer. A moral dilemma. Should the wealthy man pay the ransom anyway and risk losing his financial position?"

  • "An executive mortgages all he owns to stage a coup and gain control of the National Shoe Company, with the intent of keeping the company out of the hands of incompetent and greedy executives. He needs the same money, though, to pay the ransom that will possibly save a child's life. His resolution of that dilemma--the certain loss of the company vs. the probable loss of the child--makes for one distinct drama, and an ensuing elaborate police procedure makes for a second."

  • "A crime thriller of suspense and complexity in which the son of a wealthy manufacturer is thought kidnapped, but then it is discovered that the son of the chauffeur has been taken by mistake. Toshiro Mifune essays the part of an industrialist caught in a moral dilemma: should he risk his business to save another man's son?"
  • "A wealthy manufacturer is ruined by a kidnapper who demands a huge ransom for what turns out to be the man's chauffeur's son."
  • "En un momento crucial de su vida financiera, Gondo, un hombre de negocios, recibe la noticia de que su hijo ha sido secuestrado, y el rescate exigido es una cantidad de dinero similar a la que necesita para cerrar una importante negociación. Gondo está dispuesto a pagar el rescate hasta que comprende que los secuestradores se han equivocado y se han llevado al hijo del chófer. Ahora deberá decidir si el dinero es más importante que la vida del niño."
  • "Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in High and low (tengoku to jigoku), the highly influential domestic drama and police procedural from director Akira Kurosawa. Adapting Ed McBain's detective novel King's Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a diabolical treatise on contemporary Japanese society."
  • "A complex crime thriller in which a wealthy shoe manufacturer's chauffeur's son is kidnapped in mistake for his own, and he faces a moral dilemma."
  • "En un momento crucial de su vida financiera, un hombre de negocios, directivo de una importante empresa de zapatos; recibe la noticia de que su hijo ha sido secuestrado.

El ejecutivo está dispuesto a pagar el rescate cuando se entera de que los secuestradores han cometido un error."

  • ""三船敏郎是低下層出身的成功商家, 當他籌得五千萬日元準備收購公司的全部股權時, 突然有人來電勒索三千萬日元, 謂其兒子已被綁票. 後來才知綁的是其司機之子. 三船在金錢與無辜性命之中必須作出抉擇."--container."
  • "Na de ontvoering van het zoontje van zijn chauffeur eisen de ontvoerders een ruïneus losgeld en plaatsen een zakenman voor een groot moreel dilemma."
  • "A crime thriller of startling suspense and complexity in which the son of a wealthy manufacturer is thought kidnapped, but then it is discovered that the son of the chauffeur has been taken by mistake.
