The Hidden Fortress
1930s adventure films like "Gunga Din" and "The Four Feathers" provided inspiration for the film's style and storytelling technique. The use of children as protagonists is also inspired by the book and the film "A High Wind in Jamaica", while the relationship between Raisuli and Eden is based on the 1921 film "The Sheik". Raisuli's rescue of the Pedecarises on the beach is similar to another mounted sword-fighting scene in Akira Kurosawa's 1958 film "The Hidden Fortress", and the scene of Jennifer Pedecaris being cornered by Aldo Sambrell's character and kidnapped is a reference to the 1956 film "The Searchers".
