Description: A home invasion thriller from Kinji Fukasaku? Let's go! Introducing Arrow Video's Limited Edition Blu-ray release for Kinji Fukasaku's 1966 thriller, The Threat. This gritty crime drama in the vein of Kurosawa's High and Low, set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernising Japan that has left many of its citizens behind. Misawa (Rentarō Mikuni, Fugitive from the Past, Vengeance is Mine) appears to lead a charmed life, the very model of Japan's post-war economic miracle. His position as the account manager of a prestigious advertising agency is enough to pay the mortgage on the spacious modern house he shares with his wife (Masumi Harukawa, Intentions of Murder) and their two young boys, kitted out with all the latest mod-cons. Then one day, the fragility of his existence is revealed when two violent jail-breakers turn up on his doorstep seeking refuge and threatening to embroil Misawa in their criminal activities. Arrow Video presents this little-seen early masterpiece from Kinji Fukasaku, the future director of Battles Without Honour and Humanity and Battle Royale, for the very first time outside of its own country in a stunning new transfer. 100% Brand New and Factory SealedPacked with extra CARE with USPS First Class serviceDiscount/combined shipping if multiple items are ordered =)Photos in gallery is a sample of our actual in-stock itemShips from Las Vegas, USAIMPORTANT NOTE: An all-region Blu-ray player is required to view this movie.
