Dr. Yuusuke Tashiro (played by Katsuki Kobayashi), a geophysicist, leads his team to conduct deep-sea scientific research. However, he discovers abnormal cracks and mudflows on the seabed. After a series of investigations, he concludes that the Japanese archipelago is about to sink in a year. However, officials of the Japanese government regarded Dr. Tanaka's prediction as a lie that was not worth believing. Only Prime Minister Yamamoto (played by Koji Ishisaka) recognized the severity of the situation and appointed Tashiro's ex-wife, Saori Hayamori (played by Mako Daichi), as the Minister of Crisis Management, leading Dr. Tashiro and their team to try to save Japan. Soon, starting from Hokkaido, a large-scale geological disaster occurred in the Japanese archipelago, plunging the entire country into panic. The government was at a loss in the face of the disaster. The only overseas migration policy it had was completely unable to cope with the rapidly deteriorating situation, and the reality of the complete sinking of the Japanese islands was about to unfold. Ultimately, Dr. Tanaka and his scientific expedition team finally found a way to save Japan, but the practical operation of this method was fraught with difficulties... This film is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by Japanese science fiction author Sakyo Komatsu. With a production budget of 2 billion yen, it is the disaster film with the largest investment and the greatest promotion in the Japanese film industry in recent years.[Collapse]
