Official fact sheet

The year is 2019, 31 years after the total destruction of Tokyo in World War III. A new city called Neo-Tokyo has risen from the ashes in Tokyo Bay. Kaneda, the leader of a teenage motorcycle gang, was locked in combat with a rival biker group called the ?Clowns?. One night, Kaneda?s buddy Tetsuo was taken into military custody after encountering a strange boy who had been used as a guinea pig for human experimentation. Kaneda sneaked into the military?s research facility to rescue his friend. Once inside, he discovered that the military was using drugs to awaken a mysterious power within Tetsuo, and found many other experimental subjects confined in there as well. One of these subjects, a young girl, predicted the ?awakening of Akira?, the darkest secret of the military scientific program. And so Tetsuo began making his way towards this mysterious Akira, who was sleeping deep under the Earth?s surface?
