Alice in Borderland - Episode 1

 


Alice in Borderland is a science-fiction/suspense series about three aimless high school friends (Arisu, Karube and Chōta) who are mysteriously transported to a post-apocalyptic Tokyo where they have to fight to stay alive. It's based on a Japanese manga series which started in 2010.

Episode One - The three friends ditch their responsibilities and meet at Shibuya Crossing. They get into trouble and hide from the police in a bathroom. When they leave the bathroom, they discover that the entire city of Tokyo has been abandoned. Later that night a bright billboard directs them to a game area. They get there and realize that they will be killed by a laser that shoots down from the sky if they leave. So, they are forced to play along with other random people who arrive. In the first game, they are in an apartment building and have to choose the correct rooms to enter or they die. All three friends make it to the end of the game, but Chota's leg is burned badly by a fire as they make their final escape. They receive a few days reprieve before the next deadly game starts.
