Synopsis

For months now, honest and unsuspecting Nao Kanzaki (Erika Toda), has been living a nightmare. With her father sick in the hospital, she has been unwittingly roped into a mysterious “reality game” where survival rests on how well she can swindle others out of their money. With each contestant beginning with a million dollars, and held liable for any losses incurred, the stakes are incredibly high. But Nao has found help in arguably the best con man around, Shinichi Akiyama (Shota Matsuda), and together, they’ve managed to survive round after round. Now, they’ve reached the finals, but it promises to be unlike anything they’ve experienced. LIAR GAME moves from popular TV drama to the silver screen for its dramatic conclusion. The ultimate reality show is on… and it’s played for keeps.
