AKIRA: THE MOVIE: THE STORY
The year is 2019, 31 years after Tokyo was
destroyed by a top secret weapons project during World War III. Now,
Neo-Tokyo has risen from the ashes to become a dark and dangerous
megalopolis infested with gangs and terrorists. The government seethes
with corruption and only maintains token control over the powerful
military that prevents total chaos and hides the secrets of the past.

Childhood friends Tetsuo and Kaneda plunge into Neo-Tokyo's darkest
secret when their motorcycle gang encounters a military operation to
retrieve an escaped experimental subject. Tetsuo, captured by the
military, is subjected to experiments that make him a powerful psychic,
but, unfortunately for Neo-Tokyo, Tetsuo's powers rage out of control
and he lashes out at the world that has oppressed him! Nothing can stop
the destructive forces that Tetsuo wields except possibly the last boy
to destroy Tokyo - Akira!
