Bullet Train Explosion – Watch the new trailer for the film from Shinji Higuchi

Don’t stop…

An urgent phone call comes in to the bullet train general control center.
The caller says that a bomb has been planted on the Hayabusa No. 60 bullet train heading toward Tokyo, and that it will explode as soon as its speed goes below 100 kilometers per hour.
The criminal demands 100 billion yen in exchange for deactivating the bomb, forcing the railway workers into a desperate race against time as they struggle to prevent an explosion. Will the Hayabusa No. 60 be able to avert this disaster as it hurtles down the tracks?

This film is a reboot of Jun’ya Satô’s 1975 movie “The Bullet Train.” Director Shinji Higuchi, known for merging spectacular visuals with human drama in works like “Shin Godzilla,” is a huge fan of the original film, and has boldly reconstructed the story for modern times.
