After the end of the civil war that tore apart Japan, the new governors of Touto, Hokuto and Seito work together to reunify the country. However, they are actually members of an extraterrestrial race called the "Blood Tribe" (the same species as Evolto), who assumed their government positions as part of a plan to destroy Earth as they have done to Mars and other planets before. Considering Sento Kiryū (Kamen Rider Build) a major threat to their plans, the Blood Tribe manipulates his friends and other civilians into attacking him. With even his close ally Ryūga Banjō (Kamen Rider Cross-Z) now against him, Sento must fight to survive and stop the Blood Tribe's plan from succeeding.
"Fukushima 50" est basé sur le livre de Ryusho Kadota, intitulé "On the Brink: l'histoire intérieure de Fukushima Daiichi", et raconte les séquelles du grand séisme dans l'est du Japon, du tsunami et des effondrements qui ont suivi à la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima Daiichi. Le film suit les 50 travailleurs courageux - y compris le superviseur de quart Isaki (Koichi Sato) et le surintendant de site Yoshida (Ken Watanabe) - qui ont risqué leur vie et sont restés à l'usine pour empêcher la destruction totale des réacteurs en surchauffe et minimiser les dégâts.
