‘The Terror Live: Last Show’ depicts a live broadcast with a bomb terrorist that begins with a phone call on a radio program. The only negotiator designated by the terrorist is Orimoto (Abe Hiroshi), a former popular caster for the national news program ‘Showtime 7’. He engages in a desperate fight as the terrorist threatens to detonate a bomb if even one person goes outside.
On the 3rd, Lotte Entertainment announced the exclusive release of the movie ‘The Terror Live: The Last Show’ and released six stills containing the different perspectives of the people in the newsroom who are on the brink of a terrorist attack and continuing the exclusive live broadcast.
The released stills show Orimoto (Abe Hiroshi), a demoted news caster who tries to use the terrorist‘s threat as an opportunity to return to the news, Shoji (Yoshida Kotaro), the bureau chief who is obsessed with ratings and topicality, Yuki (Nukumi Meru), the ‘Showtime 7’ announcer who is caught up in the terrorism, and Yuki (Nukumi Meru), who has a grudge against ‘Orimoto’. The current main caster of ‘Showtime 7’ Asaka (Ryusei Ryo), the reporter Ito (Igawa Haruka) chasing the truth of the incident, and even the mysterious silhouette entering the studio reveal a thrilling and tense situation as various interests inside and outside the newsroom collide.
While getting deeper and deeper into the mystery of what the terrorist’s true hidden intentions are and why it had to be ‘Showtime 7’ and ‘Orimoto’, the anticipation is heightened by the passionate performance of Abe Hiroshi, who skillfully conducts a real-time national vote as a caster in the midst of a thrilling live broadcast revelation battle with the terrorists and shows off his entertaining temperament.
