Ken Takakura (A FUGITIVE FROM THE PAST) stars in this high-octane crime thriller that sees him on the run across the whole of Japan.
MANHUNT sees the iconic Ken Takakura (A FUGITIVE FROM THE PAST, BLACK RAIN, THE YAKUZA) reunited with Japan's top action director Junya Sato (THE BULLET TRAIN) in a high-octane crime thriller that takes him across the whole of Japan.
When Fuyuto Morioka (Takakura), a chief prosecutor for the Ministry of Justice, is arrested for a crime he didn't commit, he escapes from custody. Trailed by a detective and two shadowy figures wielding shotguns, Morioka's investigation into who might want to see him locked away sees him uncover a dark web of government and corporate corruption involving a dangerous mind-controlling drug developed by a sinister pharmaceutical company.
A star-studded blockbuster featuring some of Japan's most familiar actors, including Kunie Tanaka, Ryo Ikebe and Ko Nishimura, MANHUNT proved a surprise box-office smash, inspiring a 2017 remake by John Woo, and is now presented in a brand new high-definition restoration with original lossless stereo audio.
