Synopsis
In July 1988, after a new type of weapon of mass destruction was deployed in Japan’s Kanto region, World War III broke out. Thirty-one years later—2019. Amid preparations for next year’s Olympic Games, glimpses of the glory days of Neo-Tokyo—the megalopolis built on Tokyo Bay—can occasionally be seen. Kaneda, the leader of a bōsōzoku motorcycle gang, leaves a trail of destruction in his wake as he rides through the desolate streets of Neo-Tokyo. One evening, Tetsuo, one of the gang members, runs into a peculiar test subject from a government experiment. Stunned, Kaneda and the gang watch as Tetsuo and the mysterious boy are transported to a military laboratory. To save Tetsuo, Kaneda tries to break into the military facility, where he discovers that Tetsuo has developed supernatural powers. Meanwhile, one of the test subjects in the special nursery predicts the awakening of the top-secret AKIRA. Tetsuo tests his new powers during his journey through the underworld where AKIRA slumbers.
