A high-stakes international thriller is about to land, and Sakaguchi Kentaro is stepping into one of his most intense roles yet. New stills from “kiDnap GAME” have just dropped, showing him as a relentless detective racing against time to save his wife.

What’s the Story?

“kiDnap GAME” follows an unprecedented kidnapping case unfolding simultaneously across seven Asian cities — Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, Naha, and Manila. Seven individuals are each given different missions and forced into a deadly survival game, where they must complete their assignments before anyone else to save their loved ones and survive.

Sakaguchi Kentaro plays Nīide Toshiro, a righteous Tokyo detective who will take any risk to catch criminals. When his wife is kidnapped, he’s pulled into the game himself — and even under the brutal rule that only one person can survive, he sets out to save every participant, not just her.
