Battle Royale

Battle Royale (バトル・ロワイアル, Batoru Rowaiaru) is a Japanese action-thriller film directed by Kinji Fukasaku, based on the controversial 1999 novel by Koushun Takami. It stars Tatsuya Fujiwara, Aki Maeda, Tarō Yamamoto, and Takeshi Kitano. It is the first film in the Battle Royale series, followed by Battle Royale 2: Requiem. The film drew controversy, and was banned or excluded from distribution in several countries; Toei Company refused to sell the film to any United States distributor for over a decade due to concerns about potential controversy and lawsuits, until Anchor Bay Entertainment eventually acquired the film in 2010 for a direct-to-video release.

The films follow a group of junior high-school students that are forced to fight to the death by the Japanese totalitarian government.
