1500 passengers have just boarded the high-speed “Shinkansen” train linking Tokyo to Hakata in western Japan. Shortly after departure, the railway security director receives a call from a man claiming to have planted a bomb on board. It will explode if the train’s speed drops below 80 km/h. The countdown begins: the nation’s full resources are mobilized to track down the terrorist group and pay the demanded ransom of $5 million…

A landmark of Japanese disaster cinema, The Bullet Train (also known as Super Express 109)left a lasting impression with its gripping storyline, ambitious direction full of suspense, and underlying social critique.
