In 2019, 31 years after the Third World War, the rebuilt Neo-Tokyo is being torn apart by riots and terrorism. Tetsuo, a member of the biker gang led by Kaneda, is seized by a secret military project and wakes up to psychic powers he cannot control. As the power consumes him and he rampages through the city, the trail leads to Akira, the being that erased Tokyo once before.
