简 介
伊藤开司,26岁。胸无大志的他没有固定工作,靠在便利店打工的微薄工资度日。他总对自己说,“过两天我就发愤图强”,对他来说,所谓梦想不过是半梦半醒间的呓语。偶然看到高级轿车时,开司会愤愤地踢上一脚。
一天,一个自称叫远藤凛子的神秘美女来找开司。身为非法金融公司社长的僳子是来催缴债款的。她告诉开司,他的欠债加利息已经达到202万日元。无产无业的开司根本还不起这笔巨款。凛子提供了一个勾销巨债并满赚取大钱的机会,她要开司登上希望号游轮,只要上了船就会知道具体销债方式。
急于还债的开司没有察觉这是一个圈套,凛子口中的“改变人生的良机”深深打动了他。深夜,开司上了希望号豪华客船,船上聚集了一大批像开司那样背了一屁股债的人。
集团的主管利根川出现在众人面前,他告诉大家,在场的人将通过“限定猜拳”的赌博游戏决定命运。“获得胜利的人能获得一切,而输了的就是垃圾!” 利根川的话让所有人变得紧张亢奋起来。
开司等在场者各自获得了12张牌和三枚星星,牌分石头、剪子、布三种花色,每种各四张。大家用牌来猜拳,胜者可以赢取败者的星星。游戏限时三十分钟,最终剩下三枚以上星星的人得以生还,剩下的人将被送到恐怖房间,在那里进行丧失人格尊严的长期强制劳动。
以命运为赌注的猜拳游戏开始了,开司能否成功逆转人生?
KAIJI is an exciting psychological thriller starring Tatsuya Fujiwara as Kaiji, man forced to enter a deadly gambling competition aboard a cruise ship, to erase a large financial debt. This movie is the first time that “Death Note” co-stars Tatsuya Fujiwara and Kenichi Matsuyama are reuniting to work together!
Based on Nobuyuki Fukumoto’s hit manga series which has sold over 11 million copies, Kaiji is a 26 year-old job-hopping bum who suddenly finds himself riddled in debt after a shadowy loan company informs him that he is responsible for a loan taken by his friend (who has since gone missing) and whom he casually co-signed as a loan guarantor for!
The company gives Kaiji the solution of a lifetime – to take a short journey on the “Espoir,” a ship where other debtors such as himself gamble to pay off their debt and try to strike it rich at the same time. The rules of the gambling games seem simple at first but there’s much more than meets the eye…
Now stuck in a closed world of unsavory characters willing to do anything to defeat him, the game that will totally change Kaiji’s life has begun!
