About
When Tetsuo, a teenager from a biker gang, is taken in by the government after a crash, he begins to develop terrifying psychic powers. As those powers spiral out of control, his best friend Kaneda is pulled into a rebel group fight and comes face-to-face with the mysterious force known only as Akira. Akira turns teenage rebellion into a story of corruption and trauma on a visually disturbing and hallucinatory Neo-scape of Tokyo… while somehow still being about kids on bikes.
