Akira (1988)

アキラ

Information

Synopsis

On 16 July 1988, almost all of Tokyo is destroyed in a huge nuclear explosion. This is also the beginning of World War 3.

31 years later, in 2019, Tokyo is rebuilt as Neo-Tokyo. The gritty metropolis is teeming with gangs and terrorists that the corrupt government struggles to keep under control with military force. Riots and brutal gang wars characterise life in the streets. The friends Tetsuo and Kaneda are two teenagers living in Neo-Tokyo. They are not particularly interested in school and the like, preferring to roam the streets at night with their motorbike gang and fight relentless battles with rival gangs on their bikes. One evening, when they are in a fight with the “clowns”, another gang, Tetsuo meets a strange “boy”. His body looks like that of a child, but his face is that of an old man. Shortly after the encounter, the military shows up, captures Tetsuo and later performs experiments on him. The experiments have given Tetsuo strong psychic powers, which he soon can no longer control. While Kaneda tries to free Tetsuo, he loses more and more control over his powers.

    The future is not a straight line. There are many different pathways. We must try to decide that future for ourselves.
