In the near future, Japan is in a state of collapse. With high unemployment and a generation of youth out of control, the government enacts the Battle Royale programme. Each year, a randomly chosen school class is pitted against itself on an abandoned island in a cruel game of survival. With a former teacher (Takeshi Kitano) overseeing the game, this is a fight to the death with only one winner.
The rules are simple: It lasts 3 days. Each player starts with food, water and a random weapon. If more than one player survives, everyone dies. There is no escape © The "BATTLE ROYALE" Production Committee.
