Battle Royale 4K UHD bluray mediabook

The end of the third millennium: Violence in schools has taken over, the state is on the verge of collapse. An educational reform for boycotting students is supposed to remedy the situation: Battle Royale—the royal battle takes place on a desert island, supervised by armed troops. The rules are simple, but with deadly consequences:

1. The battle lasts three days. Only one can survive!

In addition, each student is given a necklace that will explode if they refuse to participate. The situation for the unwilling warriors seems hopeless; they must kill each other. Because if more than one survives, they will all be executed...
