Manhunt [Blu-Ray]
Street Date: October 20, 2026
Synopsis: MANHUNT sees the iconic Ken Takakura (A FUGITIVE FROM THE PAST) reunited with Japan’s top action director Junya Sato (THE BULLET TRAIN) in a high-octane crime thriller that takes him across the whole of Japan. When Fuyuto Morioka (Takakura), a chief prosecutor for the Ministry of Justice, is arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, he escapes from custody. Trailed by a detective and two shadowy figures wielding shotguns, Morioka’s investigation into who might want to see him locked away sees him uncover a dark web of government and corporate corruption involving a dangerous mind-controlling drug developed by a sinister pharmaceutical company. A star-studded blockbuster featuring some of Japan’s most familiar actors, including Kunie Tanaka, Ryo Ikebe and Ko Nishimura, MANHUNT proved a surprise box-office smash, inspiring a 2017 remake by John Woo, and is now presented in a brand new restoration.
