Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Aoyama Shinji (Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani), Eureka won the FIPRESCI Prize at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. The film stars popular actor Yakusho Koji (Shall We Dance), NANA starlet Miyazaki Aoi, and her brother Miyazaki Masaru (Hatsukoi) in his film debut.

Sawai (Yakusho Koji) is a driver who survives a cold-blooded busjack along with a young man, Naoki (Miyazaki Masaru), and his sister (Miyazaki Aoi). After the incident, the three are constantly bothered by the media, and Sawai decides to leave town. Two years later Sawai decides to return to Kyushu. There is a serial killer on the loose and Sawai is again put in the spotlight, but this time as a suspect! In order to get away from the police and the public eye, Naoki and his sister also decide to leave, jumping onto a bus to escape the dreaded city they call home.
