In Bullet Train Explosion, a bomb is planted on the Hayabusa No. 60, set to detonate if the train’s speed drops below 100 km/h. Conductor Takaichi (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi), along with conductor Fujii (Kanata Hosoda) and driver Matsumoto (Non), must race against time to save the passengers. The film also stars Machiko Ono as Diet member Kagami, Jun Kaname as entrepreneur and YouTuber Todoroki, and Hana Toyoshima as high school student Yuzuki.
