From the acclaimed director Shinji Higuchi (Shin Godzilla), known for blending spectacular visuals with compelling stories in his work, Bullet Train Explosion is set to make its adrenaline-fueled premiere on April 23. Director Higuchi, an avid fan of the original story, has reimagined the film as a modern-day reboot. This film stars Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, reuniting with director Higuchi after working together in Doomsday: The Sinking of Japan.
Tension mounts aboard the Tohoku Shinkansen Hayabusa No. 60, bound for Tokyo, where a bomb is rigged to instantly detonate if the trains speed drops below 100 km/h. As panic grips the passengers following the announcement of conductor Takaichi (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi), the crew, passengers, and the Shinkansen General Operation Control Center race against time to avert disaster.
In the teaser trailer, viewers witness the Hayabusa No. 60 in action. The preview showcases outstanding VFX as the bullet train shakes violently, couplings clash and sparks fly in near derailment. But in the final moments of the teaser, the train is seen exploding... Can the passengers, crew, and the Hayabusa itself survive such a critical crisis?
With special cooperation from the East Japan Railway Company, the production used real bullet trains and railway facilities to achieve enhanced hyper-realistic visuals. Packed with non-stop suspense, the film will keep audiences breathless from start to finish.
Joining Tsuyoshi Kusanagi is an ensemble of compelling characters, including conductor Fujii (Kanata Hosoda) and driver Matsumoto (Non). Also on board the Hayabusa are Kagami (Machiko Ono), a member of the House of Representatives; Todoroki (Jun Kaname), an entrepreneurial YouTuber; Yuzuki Onodera (Hana Toyoshima), a student on a school excursion; along with other passengers of diverse backgrounds. Takumi Saitoh plays Kasagi, the general commanding officer of the Shinkansen General Operation Control Center, orchestrating rescue efforts remotely.
The teaser art has also been revealed featuring Takaichi standing before the burning Hayabusa No. 60, capturing the extreme tension of the moment.
Brace yourself for non-stop suspense with Bullet Train Explosion, streaming exclusively on Netflix on April 23.

STORY
A tense phone call came into the Shinkansen General Operation Control Center. The caller claims that a bomb has been planted on the Hayabusa No. 60 bound for Tokyo, and that the bomb will explode as soon as the speed of the Shinkansen train drops below 100 km/h. The caller demands 100 billion yen in ransom money to disarm the bomb. The last-minute battle unfolds as the crew, passengers, and railroad workers strive to prevent the explosion within the limited time available. Will the running Hayabusa No. 60 be able to overcome this crisis?
