Como resposta à crise, o governo institui o programa Battle Royale para tentar controlar a crescente vaga de crimes juvenis. Depois de selecionada aleatoriamente uma turma de quarenta rapazes e raparigas com 15 anos, estes são raptados e enviados para uma ilha no meio do nada. Os estudantes são então obrigados a participar num jogo mortal sem regras, onde lhes é dada apenas uma arma, água e três dias para lutarem até à morte, até que um único sobrevivente saia vencedor.
