A hugely influential anime (Japanese animation) based on the "manga" comic book by Katsuhiro Otomo, Akira unfolds in the post-apocalyptic community of Neo-Tokyo where Tetsuo, a rebellious motorcycle gang member falls foul of the armed soldiers who control the city. But it's after he begins to experience strange dreams of his childhood that the authorities really begin to take an interest in Tetsuo - and when his destiny begins to take shape. Akira is bona-fide cult viewing, as visually incredible as it is dramatically powerful. (This film was originally made in Japanese, but has been dubbed into English.)
Stunning animation based on a popular Japanese comic set in the huge and dangerous Treasure City in which a pair of brothers fight the forces of evil.
