Premise

[edit]

When the Hayabusa 60 shinkansen bound for Tokyo is threatened with a bomb that will instantly detonate if it slows below 100 km/h and the bomber demands a ransom of ¥100 billion for the lives of everyone aboard, the train's crew, as well as government authorities, must race against time to find the bomber and defuse the bomb while keeping the train and its passengers safe.[6]

Unlike the original film, production for Bullet Train Explosion received support from the East Japan Railway Company, which provided actual shinkansen units and railway facilities for filming.[6]
