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 the 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. This film stars Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, reuniting with director Higuchi after "Doomsday: The Sinking of Japan." Kusanagi gives a brilliant performance as train conductor Takaichi, who tries to prevent the bomb from going off on the Hayabusa No. 60. With special cooperation from the East Japan Railway Company, the production used real bullet trains and railway facilities to craft extremely realistic visuals, which were seamlessly enhanced with cutting-edge visual effects. Packed with non-stop suspense, this high-stakes thriller will keep audiences breathless from start to finish.

The Netflix Film "Bullet Train Explosion" starts streaming worldwide Wednesday, 23 April, 2025, only on Netflix.
