A high-stakes thriller built on relentless mechanical suspense, where a trapped train full of passengers becomes a pressure cooker of tension and paranoia.

A Japanese bullet train is threatened with a bomb that will explode automatically if the train slows below 80 km/h, unless a ransom is paid. Police race to find the bombers so the train crew can learn how to defuse the bomb.
