Akira background

Akira

A rogue military experiment unleashes a powerful psychic threat on Neo-Tokyo, forcing a teenager and his biker friends to join forces with a group of psychics to stop a violent gang member turned mind-controlling menace.

In a rebuilt Tokyo, 31 years after its destruction in World War III, a biker gang leader Shotaro Kaneda's friend Tetsuo is injured and taken to a secret government facility, where he develops telekinetic powers. However, Tetsuo chooses to use his abilities for malevolent purposes, echoing the destructive force of Akira, which devastated the city in 1988, threatening to repeat history.
