About Shimane Prison Riot
Japan, 1948: Hiroki Matsukata stars as a man facing a nine year prison sentence. He incites prisoners of Shimane Prison to the biggest riot in jail history. A fighter by heart, he sees a way out of any situation, but will he survive this, the gutsiest assault ever attempted?
Directed by Sadao Nakajima, Shimane Prison Riot leans on a strong ensemble — Hiroki Matsukata, Kinya Kitaoji, Gorō Ibuki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1975.
