Slam Dunk: The Movie

Slam Dunk: The Movie (1994) is the first theatrical anime film in the Slam Dunk franchise — watch it online on iFILM. Based on Takehiko Inoue's beloved manga, it runs just 29 minutes and drops viewers straight into a training match between Shohoku High and Takezono.

Sakuragi faces Oda, a player he crossed paths with back in junior high — which gives what might otherwise be a routine warm-up game a sharp personal edge. The film skips any introductions and assumes the audience already knows the characters. That is both its strength and its limitation: rewarding for fans of the TV series, a confusing entry point for anyone new to the franchise. Stream Slam Dunk online on iFILM.
