- Synopsis:
- "Burst City" is an explosive Molotov cocktail of dystopian sci-fi, 'Mad Max'-style biker wars against yakuza gangsters and the police, and riotous performances from members of the real-life Japanese punk bands 'The Stalin', 'The Roosters', 'The Rockers', and 'INU'. In a derelict industrial wasteland somewhere on the outskirts of Tokyo, two rival punk bands and their unruly mobs of fans gather for a Battle of the Bands-style protest against the construction of a nuclear power plant, bringing them head to head with the yakuza industrialists behind the development of their turf.
