Battle Royale (4K Restoration)

Nominees and Awards

Synopsis

Forty-two students, three days, one deserted island: welcome to Battle Royale. A group of ninth-grade students from a Japanese high school have been forced by legislation to compete in a Battle Royale. The students are sent off to kill each other in a no-holds-barred game to the death, until one survives — or they all die. Some decide to play the game like the psychotic Kiriyama or the sexual Mitsuko, while others are trying to find a way to get off the island without violence. However, as the numbers dwindle, is there any way for Shuya and his classmates to survive?
