252: Signal of Life (2008)
Original title: 252 生存者あり
252: Signal of Life is a 2008 Japanese-language action movie directed by Nobuo Mizuta, with a running time of 2h 8m. It stars Hideaki Ito, Seiyo Uchino and Takayuki Yamada.
At some point in the distant future, a massive, catastrophic earthquake strikes Tokyo, causing the temperature of the Pacific Ocean to rise meteorically and the largest typhoon in recorded Japanese history to sweep toward the city and inundate it with water. The Tokyo Fire Department and its team of crack rescuers swing into action, and shortly after they do, a distress call arises from an underground subway station - with repeated indications of the rescue code, 252 252, and the exclamation "We Have Survivors." It soon becomes apparent that the local rescue squad must attempt to save the survivors, doing so at the expense of their own lives and safety. Written by Nathan Southern
