Iconic and game-changing, Akira is the definitive anime masterpiece! Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark cyberpunk classic obliterated the boundaries of Japanese animation and forced the world to look into the future.
In July, 1988, World War III breaks loose. Then in 2019, in megalopolis Neo-Tokyo a leader of a group of young, robust delinquents, Kaneda, spends his nights tearing through the urban landscape racing his motorbike against a rival group with his young friend Tetsuo. One night ride they encounter a strange boy who is then injured in the ensuing crash. Shortly thereafter, a military squadron appears on the scene to take the boy and Tetsuo away to an army research facility. Determined to free Tetsuo from capture, Kaneda sneaks into the army research lab. However, a regimen of extreme experimental procedures has awakened a new power in his friend, and now he is consumed by madness.
