Akira
1988 | M | 123 mins | 4K DCP | JPN| D: Katsuhiro Ôtomo
Japanese, English subtitles
When Tetsuo evolves messianic psychic powers after a motorcycle accident, his best friend Kaneda must team up with a group of rebel psychics to stop him.
A stunning animation and a dystopian vision of the future combine in a psychedelic animation that makes Akira a cult classic.
‘Adapted by Katsuhiro Otomo from his sprawling, post-apocalyptic cyberpunk tale of government conspiracies, street gangs, and psychic powers that can save or destroy the world, it’s still an all-time classic, and has never looked better.’ – Austin Chronicle
Available as a 4-film Cyberpunk pass with RoboCop, The Matrix, and Blade Runner: The Final Cut.
