Virus / Fukkatsu no hi

Kinji Fukasaku directed the 1980 Japanese science fiction film "Virus" (known in Japan as "Fukkatsu no Hi"). The film is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which a deadly virus has wiped out the majority of the world's population, leaving only a handful of survivors struggling to rebuild society. The plot revolves around a group of scientists and military personnel who discover that an Antarctic research facility has survived the pandemic and may hold the key to developing a cure.

"Virus" has an international cast that includes American actors George Kennedy and Robert Vaughn, as well as Japanese stars Sonny Chiba and Kenji Sawada. The production of the film was also notable for its collaboration between Japan and the United States, with much of the filming taking place in both countries. While "Virus" initially received mixed reviews, it has since developed a cult following among fans of post-apocalyptic and disaster films. The film's themes of survival, sacrifice, and the fragility of human civilization are still relevant today.
