They said it could never happen... But for 1500 passengers Hikar 109 became a nightmare journey that just couldn't be stopped!
In an incredibly nuanced and sympathetic performance, Ken Takakura is Tetsuo Okita - a former business owner who plans to extort money from the government by planting an explosive device on a high-speed Japanese train, programmed to detonate if its speed drops below 80 kilometres per hour. The train's conductor (Sonny Chiba) must keep it moving whilst the authorities (led by the fantastic Ken Utsui) attempt to locate Okita before the bomb explodes.
Most well-known for inspiring the 1994 Hollywood blockbuster
Speed, The Bullet Train is a remarkably tense thriller from director Junya Sato, and Eureka Classics is proud to present it in this definitive edition for its UK debut on Blu-ray from a new restoration completed by Toei Company, Ltd.
