Set sometime in an alternate time line, a diverse group of Japanese students discover that they have been unwittingly entered into a gruesome contest. The object of the game is to fight each other to the death, and the last one standing is the winner. If no student dies in a 24 hour period, then everyone dies. They are set loose in an enclosed compound, and each participant is issued a survival pack, which contains a map, compass, food, water, and a weapon. Who will be the winner? This is Charles Darwin's survival of the fittest to the extreme.

This movie had a cool concept of having students kill each other and then having one winner. But the concept quickly grows old as they run out of interesting ways to kill each other. Some students get stuck with really crappy weapons while others get really powerful weapons. The movie is gruesome and twisted so be prepared for that.
