High and Low trailer
High and Low (1963), directed by Akira Kurosawa, is a drama film and is available to stream on 11 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 8.4/10 and 97% on Rotten Tomatoes from 1,124 ratings, it is well-reviewed by critics and audiences alike. Released in 1963, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1960s drama, and remains widely watched decades later.
The film stars Toshirō Mifune, Tatsuya Nakadai, and Kyōko Kagawa. At 142 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.
If you're looking to watch High and Low online, the best option is HBO Max Amazon Channel for subscribers, and it's also included with Criterion Channel and Max, so subscribers to any of those services can watch without an additional rental. Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Amazon Video, Apple iTunes, and Fandango At Home.
