Stray Dog (野良犬 Nora inu) is a 1949 film noir directed by Akira Kurosawa. It tracks the story of Murakami (Toshirô Mifune), a rookie homicide detective who has his gun stolen on a bus in ravished, postwar Tokyo. Soon, victims are found, slain with bullets from Murakami's gun. The man-hunt is on, while Tokyo goes through a devastating heatwave. He has no success until an older and wiser detective, Sato (Takashi Shimura) takes Murakami under his wing.
