What it’s about. A blackmail arrives at Appi ski resort. “We demand 30,000,000 yen as consolation money for the destruction of the environment. If you do not respond to the demand, a time bomb set on the ski slope will be detonated.” If the bomb goes off, it will not only hurt the skiers but trigger an avalanche and cause a major catastrophe. The general manager of the ski pistes, Kurata (Ken Watanabe) pleads for an immediate shutdown of the ski site and reporting to the police, but the president of the ski resort gives priority to business interests and decides to negotiate with the blackmailer. And a negotiation process for a despicable ransom case with a massive hostage of all the skiers at the resort begins.

Who’s in it. Snow Jack stars Ken Watanabe as Reiji Kurata, Masaki Okada as Shohei Nezu, Ryoko Hirosue as Eru Fujisaki and Kosuke Suzuki as Yutaka Tatsumi, among others.
