El capitán Vladimir Arseniev y su destacamento tienen que realizar unas prospecciones geológicas en los bosques de la taiga siberiana. La inmensidad del territorio y la dureza del clima hacen que el capitán se extravíe. Condenado a vagar por una tierra salvaje, Vladimir conoce a Dersu Uzala, un cazador nómada que conoce el territorio como la palma de su mano y sabe cómo afrontar las inclemencias del tiempo. Dersu enseñará a Vladimir a respetar la naturaleza y a convivir en plena armonía con ella, una lección que difícilmente olvidará el resto de su vida.

Kurosawa generally is recognized as the best of the modern Japanese filmmakers. He was the first Japanese director to gain international recognition, partly because his storytelling technique is not culture-bound. Rashomon (1950), a story of rape and terror that is told from several different viewpoints, received first prize at the Venice Film show more Festival in 1951; the film's title has become synonymous with the concept of subjective truth expressed in widely varying versions of the same story. The Seven Samurai (1954), a humanistic tale of samurai risking their lives to defend a poor village, is another Kurosawa classic. Kurosawa has always been attracted to Western literature, and two of his most notable films are based on Shakespeare's plays: Throne of Blood (1957), a retelling of Macbeth, and Ran (1985), a masterly reinterpretation of King Lear.
