Dobbeltvisning av japansk cyberpunk!
In 2019, 30 years after an apocalyptic World War III, a secret military project endangers the new capitol Neo-Tokyo when the government kidnaps the young biker Tetsuo after a horrific accident. After being subjected to inhumane experimentations, Tetsuo is granted powerful psychic abilities that gradually overwhelm him, and his friend Kaneda and the biker gang are the only ones standing in the way of the destruction of Neo-Tokyo.
Akira is often credited with popularizing anime and manga for global audiences. Through themes of social unrest, mutilation, and technological advancement, this cyber-noir anime masterfully captures Japan’s anxieties of hyper-modernization and nuclear war in its dystopic depiction of a near-future Tokyo. Fueled by overtones of Cronenberg-esque body horror and the corrupted fusion of body and machine, Akira takes its rightful place as one of the most influential and grotesque anime films to date.
Experience the cult classic that paved the way for Japanese cyberpunk.
