Description

Japanese action drama starring Sonny Chiba and Ken Takakura. After a high-speed bullet train leaves Tokyo bound for Fukuoka, bankrupt businessman Tetsuo Okita (Takakura) notifies the head of railway security that a bomb has been placed on board which will detonate if the train drops below 80 kilometres per hour. As the police scramble to identify the bomber and his accomplices, heroic conductor Aoki (Chiba) races against time to save the lives of everyone on board.

Once the bomb is located, can he defuse it and stop the train safely?
