About the Film

Arguably the most ambitious Japanese film ever made, perhaps no other Asian film with few exceptions is more prominent or timely than Kinji Fukusaku’s celebrated adaptation of a novel from the prolific Sakyo Kumatsu. Stacked with an international cast from around the globe and loaded with the largest budget of any local film at the time, now is the perfect opportunity to take on this genre effort.

Synopsis

One month after a devastating accident, a US scientist is frantically looking for the missing MM-88 virus which is a potentially globally-threatening bacteria. Shortly after his discovery of the potential threat to the situation, he’s swiftly locked away, preventing the world from knowing the truth when a strange viral outbreak affects the entire globe. By the time the outbreak has reached full-blown pandemic, it’s too late to save the world, as massive casualties are reported, leaving a small gang of survivors at various research stations throughout Antarctica. With the fate of humanity resting on their collective shoulders, a potential cataclysm emerges that will signal the end of the world unless they race into action to stop it.
