Directed by the late Fukasaku Kinji, international cult hit Battle Royale is one of the most shocking and controversial films of recent years. Based on a Takami Koushun novel, this violent and visceral film takes a Lord of the Flies scenario to modern Japan, telling a tragically brutal and gut-wrenching story amidst the thrilling carnage and bloodshed. Led by Kitano Takeshi, this landmark film launched the careers of a new class of young stars, including Fujiwara Tatsuya ( Death Note ), Maeda Aki ( Out of this World ), Kuriyama Chiaki ( Kill Bill ), Tsukamoto Takashi ( A Song to the Sun ), Shibasaki Kou ( Sinking of Japan ), and Ando Masanobu ( Nightmare Detective ). To counter increasing youth violence, the Japanese government has invoked the Battle Royale Act as a warning to the nation's youth. A high school class is unwillingly drafted into a deadly game of survival. Taken to a remote island, the teenagers are each given one weapon and a deadline kill each other or be killed. Only the winner can leave the island alive.
