Manhunt (Japanese: 君よ憤怒の河を渉れ, Hepburn: Kimi yo Fundo no Kawa o Watare, lit.

'You Must Cross the River of Wrath') is a 1976 Japanese crime thriller film directed and co-written by Junya Satō.

Morioka's superior revokes his position as a prosecutor and calls out a manhunt on him, assigning detective Yamura (from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department) to the case.

Morioka tracks one of his accusers to Makami Village in the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture but finds her dead.

After Morioka has left, the police later arrive and find the body, tracking her husband Yokomichi Keiji back to a town called Kounogi in Hokkaido, where they set up an ambush.

While moving through the woods, Morioka notices and disarms a tripwire hooked to a shotgun then uses it to scare off a bear attacking a woman who is stuck up a tree.

Morioka helps the injured Yamura back to the hideout and cauterizes the wound with a burning branch.

Tonami then withdraws from the race for governor and sends Mayumi to Tokyo under the guise of concluding a business deal for him.

Morioka crash lands on a beach near Mito, sneaks past police roadblocks on a truck, and makes his way through the woods to Tokyo.

The next day Yamura arrives at Mayumi's hotel and shows Morioka a copy of Yokomichi's medical record from a mental hospital where he is being treated for paranoid schizophrenia under the name Suzuki Takeshi.

Yamura's superior reprimands him and reminds him of the five-year prison sentence that is mandatory for making deals with suspects.

The doctor, Vice President Doto, recognizes Morioka and taunts him by showing him Yokomichi, who has been rendered incoherent by a strong sedative.

Doto force-feeds the same sedative to Morioka and imprisons him in the mental hospital as a schizophrenic under the name Tsuyama and refuses to release him to Mayumi.

Representative Ryosuke visits the hospital and is given a demonstration of the effects of the sedative known as "AX" that blocks parts of the brain responsible for will and makes those who take it obedient to commands.
