Ryota Miyagi developed a love for basketball during one-on-one matches with his older brother Sota. But after tragedy struck, Ryota struggled to readjust to life without his brother. Years later, Ryota is point guard for the Shohoku high school basketball team, alongside a team of talented but volatile classmates. They’re facing their toughest challenge yet: a high-stakes match against seemingly unbeatable inter-school champions Sannoh. The First Slam Dunk is a hyper-stylish, thrilling reboot of a classic series and has become one of the five highest-grossing anime films of all time.
