Bullet Train is a 2022 American action comedy film directed by David Leitch from a screenplay by Zak Olkewicz, based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle (published in English as Bullet Train) by Kōtarō Isaka. The film stars an ensemble cast including Brad Pitt, Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Benito A Martínez Ocasio, and Sandra Bullock.

Bullet Train premiered in Paris on July 18, 2022, and was theatrically released in the United States on August 5, 2022 by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mixed reviews from critics.

A former assassin codenamed "Ladybug" returns to work with a newly positive attitude. He is tasked by his handler, Maria Beetle, to collect a briefcase aboard a bullet train traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto. Unbeknownst to Ladybug, three other killers are onboard: hitmen brothers "Tangerine" and "Lemon", and deceptively innocent schoolgirl "The Prince".[5]

Tangerine and Lemon have been hired by "White Death", head of the world’s largest crime syndicate, who seized control of the Japanese underworld years before. Having recovered the crime lord's kidnapped son and the briefcase containing his $10 million ransom, the brothers are delivering both to Kyoto. The Prince summons another assassin, Yuichi Kimura, to the train, having pushed his young son off a building. With an associate at the hospital ready to finish the boy off, the Prince forces Kimura to cooperate with her plan: rigging the briefcase and Kimura’s gun with explosives to kill White Death.

Stealing the briefcase, Ladybug is forced to kill another assassin, "The Wolf", who arrives seeking revenge for the deaths of his wife and his entire cartel, poisoned at their wedding. Realizing the briefcase is missing, the brothers find White Death’s son dead by poisoning. The Prince leads Tangerine to believe Ladybug is responsible, while Ladybug attempts to negotiate with Lemon but is forced to subdue him. Ladybug runs into the Wolf’s intended target, "The Hornet" — the poisoner who massacred his wedding, hired to kill White Death’s son. She stabs Ladybug with a syringe of boomslang venom but he injects her as well, then saves himself with her only dose of antivenom, and she dies instead.

Fighting Tangerine to a stalemate, Ladybug tries to help him convince White Death’s men that his son and the briefcase are safe, then kicks Tangerine off the train. Suspicious of Kimura and the Prince, Lemon shoots Kimura but succumbs to a bottle of water drugged by Ladybug, and is shot by the Prince. Climbing back inside the train, Tangerine finds his brother’s body and confronts the Prince, but is fatally shot in a scuffle with Ladybug. Kimura’s father, "The Elder", boards the train and reveals himself as a former Yakuza lieutenant whose wife and clan were killed in White Death’s rise to power. Ensuring his grandson’s safety by having the Prince’s associate killed, he and Ladybug find Kimura and Lemon still alive, and they all prepare for the ambush awaiting them.

The train arrives in Kyoto, and Ladybug is met by White Death and his men. The Prince, revealed to be White Death’s daughter, tries to goad him into firing Kimura’s booby-trapped gun. Before White Death can kill Ladybug, the briefcase bomb is triggered, knocking them both onto the train which Lemon sets back in motion. As the train speeds out of control, the Elder duels White Death while Kimura and Ladybug fight off his henchmen. Lemon tackles a thug off the train into the river below, and the train derails, crashing into a nearby town.

Ladybug is held at gunpoint by White Death, who reveals that he hired all the assassins aboard the train as revenge for the murder of his wife. After Tangerine and Lemon massacred his men during a job in Bolivia, his wife was called to bail their son out of jail and was killed by an operative named Carver, intending to assassinate her husband. Blaming the brothers, Carver, and his own son, White Death arranged for all the assassins — including the Wolf, the Hornet, and Ladybug, who unwittingly replaced Carver on the train — to kill each other and his son. He attempts to shoot Ladybug, but is killed himself when Kimura’s gun explodes. Ladybug, Kimura, and his father are confronted by the murderous Prince, who is run over by a truck carrying tangerines. Maria arrives to rescue Ladybug, who has fully embraced a positive outlook on life.

In a mid-credits scene, Lemon emerges from the river and commandeers the tangerine truck, avenging his brother.

Bullet Train had been initially developed by Antoine Fuqua—who co-produced the film—through his Fuqua Films banner.[6] It was also originally intended to be a violent R-rated action thriller in the vein of Die Hard (1988), but the project turned into a light-hearted action comedy during the development process.[7][8]

It was announced in June 2020 that Sony Pictures hired David Leitch to direct the adaptation of the Kōtarō Isaka novel from a screenplay by Zak Olkewicz,[6] and Brad Pitt being cast in the film the following month.[9] Joey King entered negotiations to join in a role described as a supporting role on "a cameo level".[10] In September, Andrew Koji was added,[11] with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brian Tyree Henry joining in October.[12][13] In November 2020, Zazie Beetz,[14] Masi Oka,[15] Michael Shannon,[16] Logan Lerman,[17] and Hiroyuki Sanada joined the cast,[18] with Leitch revealing in December that Karen Fukuhara had also joined, and that Jonathan Sela would serve as cinematographer.[19] That same month, Bad Bunny was also added to the cast,[20] and Sandra Bullock joined the following year in February to replace Lady Gaga, who dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with House of Gucci (2021).[21]

Production for Bullet Train began in October 2020 in Los Angeles, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[22] Filming started on November 16, 2020,[23] and wrapped in March 2021.[24] According to the film's stunt coordinator, Greg Rementer, Pitt performed 95 percent of his stunts in the film.[25]

The casting of several non-Asian actors, including Brad Pitt and Joey King, prompted accusations of whitewashing as their characters were Japanese in Kōtarō Isaka's novel. David Inoue, Executive Director of the Japanese American Citizens League, criticized the casting, explaining that while the American adaptation would have been appropriate if the setting took place in the United States, the filmmakers chose to keep the novel's Japanese setting while keeping Japanese characters in the film's background, strengthening charges of whitewashing. Inoue also questioned the actors' allyship to the Asian community for knowingly accepting whitewashed roles and further criticized the film for pushing the "belief that Asian actors in the leading roles cannot carry a blockbuster" led films such as Crazy Rich Asians (2018). Despite being cast in the film, King previously said, "I do not believe a white woman should play a character of color. Not me or any other white woman for that matter."[35]

When asked about the casting Isaka described his characters as "ethnically malleable", maintaining that his original Japanese setting and context were irrelevant as they were "not real people, maybe they're not even Japanese."[36] Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group president Sanford Panitch highlighted Isaka's views to defend the casting, reassuring that the film would honor the novel's "Japanese soul" while giving the opportunity to cast big name stars and adapt it on a "global scale". Bullet Train screenwriter Zak Olkewicz argued that the decision to cast beyond Japanese or Asian actors proved “the strength of [Isaka]’s work" as it was a story that could "transcend race". Director David Leitch noted that discussions had taken place during pre-production to change the film's setting but ultimately decided to keep Isaka's original setting of Tokyo due to its international appeal.[37]
