THE THREAT (1966) is a little-seen early masterpiece from Kinji Fukasaku, a gritty crime drama in the vein of HIGH AND LOW, set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernising Japan that has left many of its citizens behind.
Misawa (Rentarō Mikuni, FUGITIVE FROM THE PAST, VENGEANCE IS MINE) appears to lead a charmed life, the very model of Japan’s post-war economic miracle, with a modern house, a wife and two kids.
Then one day, the fragility of his existence is revealed when two violent jail-breakers turn up on his doorstep seeking refuge and threatening to embroil Misawa in their criminal activities.
Arrow Video presents THE THREAT from the director of BATTLES WITHOUT HONOUR AND HUMANITY and BATTLE ROYALE, for the very first time outside of its own country in a stunning new transfer.
