Main Line to Terror

動脈列島
1975 121 min Drama · Thriller

Concrete pylons hum under a steel sky, autumn dusk settling over the tracks. A medical intern tapes a homemade bomb to his chest, whispering timing instructions into a reel-to-reel. A detective kneels in a switchyard, tracing the map of a city held hostage by its own speed. Plays like a nervous system under fluorescent light—Masumura meets *The Taking of Pelham One Two Three* on a nerve.

Directed by Yasuzō Masumura · Written by Yasuzō Masumura, Yoshio Shirasaka

Starring Masaomi Kondo, Jirō Tamiya, Keiko Takahashi, Meiko Kaji, Hisashi Igawa, Asao Koike
