In a dystopian Japan, the government’s annual Battle Royale programme sees a class of high school students selected to compete in a deadly game that the country believes curbs the threat of juvenile delinquency.
This year’s class is the kids of Third Year Class B, Shiroiwa Junior High. Dispatched to a remote island and fitted with an explosive collar around their necks, they are each given weapons, food and water, and the order to go out and kill each other. But in Battle Royale, there can only be one survivor.
