The Yakuza is a 1975 post–film noir gangster film directed by Sydney
Pollack, written by Leonard Schrader, Paul Schrader, and Robert Towne.
The Yakuza portrays the clash of traditional Japanese values during
Japan's transition from the US occupation to economic success in the
early 1970s. The story's themes are concepts of moral indebtedness and
obligation, loyalty to family and friends, and sacrifice; Eastern and
Western cultural values are contrasted, and Classical Japanese
tradition versus the modern, Westernized, tradition of contemporary
Japan.
Following a lacklustre initial release, the film gained a cult
following.
Retired detective Harry Kilmer (Robert Mitchum) is called by an old
friend, George Tanner (Brian Keith). Tanner has been doing business
with a yakuza gangster, Tono, who has taken Tanner's daughter and her
boyfriend hostage to apply pressure in a business deal. Tanner hopes
that through Kilmer's Japanese contacts, he can locate and rescue the
girl.
