The Masterpiece Returns!
In 1988, the landmark Anime film AKIRA, by director Katsuhiro Otomo,
defined the cutting edge of Anime around the world. By today's
standards, AKIRA remains a landmark achievement in cel animation and
retains the explosive impact of its highly detailed animation and its
intensely violent saga of power and corruption. Pioneer Entertainment
proudly presents this classic film, completely restored and digitally
re-mastered.
Childhood friends Tetsuo and Kaneda's motorcycle gang encounters a
military operation to retrieve an escaped experimental subject. The
military captures Tetsuo and conducts experiments on him that unleash
his latent psychic ability, but when these new powers rage out of
control, Tetsuo lashes out at the world that has oppressed him!
