Synopsis: 
A classic in its own right, Katsuhiro Otomo’s visually stunning cyberpunk epic propelled Japaneseanime to the global stage and has since left its mark on such live-action films is now restored. Set in a post-apocalyptic 2019 in Neo-Tokyo, a thriving metropolis flushed with violent motorcycle gangs and anti-government revolutionaries. Amidst such chaos stands Kaneda, a vigilante destined to stop his lifelong friend Tetsuo from unleashing the same forces of destruction that decimated the Japanese capital with a massive explosion in 1988. But history seems destined to repeat itself –a prophecy that’s as vivid now and it was back then.

預言！神回歸！時隔三十多年，這部經典不朽的日本科幻動畫終於重映！不但轟動了整個動漫界，在科幻電影史上都有著重量級地位，奠定了日本Cyberpunk的獨特風格，更影響了日後無數電影。1988年東京淹沒於離奇爆炸之中，人類捲土重來，重建超現代城市。怎料31年後的新東京卻像一個末世廢墟，頹喪、空洞、委靡。飆車黨大佬和孱弱的同輩意外捲入政府的陰謀之中，災難背後的詭計顯露無遺。片中描述2020年的東京奧運和中止風波，與當今情況不謀而合。寫實的風格道出了繁華都市中崩塌的秩序、腐敗政權下市民的反抗、貪婪混亂裡人性的脆弱……而亂世中唯一的救贖似乎只剩下「阿基拉」—一個能重建「光明與希望」的強大力量。！
