A madman (Ken Takakura) plants a bomb on a train and threatens to blow it up unless his demands are met. Sound familiar? This exciting thriller was the inspiration for the hit film Speed. While the police try to track down the person responsible, it's up to the heroic train conductor, Sonny (The Streetfighter) Chiba, to keep the passengers calm and to find the bomb and disarm it. A landmark Japanese film, Bullet Train, keeps the excitement level on high and never lets up throughout its running time. (official distributor synopsis)
