In the film, “Clandestine army activities threaten the war torn city of Neo-Tokyo when a mysterious being with powerful psychic abilities escapes his prison and inadvertently draws a violent motorcycle gang into a heinous web of experimentation. As a result, a biker with a twisted mind embarks on a path of war, seeking revenge against a society what once called him weak.”
A live action adaptation of Akira has been in development hell for years at Warner Bros., with Taika Waititi most recently attached to direct.
