When Sakyo Komatsu s novel, Japan Sinks hit the bookstores in March 1973, it became an instant bestseller followed quickly by a landmark motion picture with a production cost considered stellar in its day. The film broke box office records, and the story grew into a social and cultural phenomenon that has since attached itself to the national psyche. Now 33 years later, director Shinji Higuchi resuscitates Japan s legendary equivalent of the War of the Worlds , against a contemporary backdrop with an all-star cast, a $25 million production budget and all the modern day filmmaking techniques to do full justice to the original novel s vision. The result is a blockbuster movie of historic proportions infused with state of the art CGI and superb casting to rival The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day. Japan has just received its death sentence. In less than a year the island nation will sink! Earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanic eruptions roil the country, leaving millions dead and stranded. Japan's only hope lies with one plan and one man. To save his country and the woman he loves, a submarine pilot must make the ultimate sacrifice!
