Katsuhiro Ohtomo‘s ground-breaking 1988 anime, reworked from his own comic strip, returns to the big screen.

It’s 2019 in dystopian Neo-Tokyo, 31 years after Tokyo was destroyed in WWIII, where a secret military project transforms a bike gang kid into a raging telekinetic psycho. Akira is back on screen in restored 4K form.
