Struck by the largest typhoon in Japan's history, Tokyo is devastated by a giant tidal wave that crashes through the city. The fire department's elite unit Hyper Rescue is sent out for rescue and recovery, and they pick up a signal - "2-5-2", the distress code to indicate survivors in need of assistance. Somewhere underground in a collapsed subway station, someone is sending a call for help in a code known only to rescue workers. Standing in the eye of the storm, the Hyper Rescue team face a dangerous race against time and tide to find the survivors, and save one of their own.

After winning over critics and audiences alike with Maiko Haaaan!!!, director Mizuta Nobuo helms the big-budget disaster drama 252: Signal of Life. Based on a Komori Yoichi novel, 252: Signal of Life imagines through impressive CG effects and production design a Tokyo destroyed by a massive natural disaster, and the ensuing rescue operation that ties the fates of two brothers together. The first film about Tokyo fire department's special Hyper Rescue unit, 252: Signal of Life realistically captures the rescue operation scenes from the perspectives of both the rescue workers and the survivors. The film's ensemble cast is led by Ito Hideaki (Sukiyaki Western Django) and Uchino Masaaki (Fuurin Kazan), along with Yamada Takayuki (Crows: Episode 0), Kashii Yu (Linda Linda Linda), Kimura Yuichi, Taro Yamamoto, and Minji.
