Description: Yamato
Synopsis: From Director Sato Jyunya (The Bullet Train, Golgo 13) and starring Nakamura Shido (Neighbor No.13, Fearless) comes this powerful WWII thriller about the crew of the doomed battleship Yamato who are ordered to carry out a suicide mission to stop the Allies from taking Okinawa
It is late World War II and the Japanese Army is losing the war. Special junior officers including Kamio (Matsuyama Kenichi) board Yamato and meet officers Moriwaki (Sorimachi Takashi) and Uchida (Nakamura Shido). However, it is the beginning of the end of the Combined Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Then in April 1945, the Yamato is ordered to carry out a suicide mission and sets out to the waters of Okinawa....
Yamato tells the story of all involved in that fateful mission - those who survived, those who waited patiently at home for word from their loved ones, and the thousands of men who died aboard the mighty vessel. Featuring a fine ensemble cast, led by Shido Nakamura, star of Neighbor No.13 and Fearless, and a majestic score from renowned composer Joe Hisaishi (Spirited Away), the film is a thrilling retelling of one of the pivotal moments of Japan's WWII campaign.
This version comes with bonus extras including trailers and deleted scenes.
