On his way to save Tetsuo, Kaneda runs into a group of anti-government activists, greedy politicians, irresponsible scientists and a powerful military leader. The confrontation sparks off Tetsuo's supernatural power leading to bloody death, a coup attempt and the final battle in Tokyo Olympiad where Akira's secrets were buried 30 years ago.
Saw this on sci-fi channel so I have no idea how much was cut out. What I saw though was pretty cool. It is a bit slow at first, but once a dream sequence starts up it gets moving pretty fast. The story is about a group of bikers, one of them takes a spill thanks to a mysterious boy in the middle of the road and the army takes the dude who had the spill and does experiments on him. These experiments end up giving him telekinetic powers…powers that were apparently given to another named Akira. Well the guy ends up going berserk and using his powers to destroy the city, looking for the one called Akira. Meanwhile his old friend joins some rebel group in the hopes of finding his friend. The rebel group opposes the Akira experiments. After awhile the two friends have a cool duel. Parts are hard to follow, but all in all it is a cool movie and trust me nothing I wrote will spoil it for you. This is a very brief summary of the plot.
It is easy to see why this is one of the most influential anime of all time. Every moment in this film is gripping and suspenseful. The animation is beautiful and detailed. From the beginning, we are thrust into the futuristic Neo-Tokyo world and the complex setting is very naturally built up as the story progresses. The characters are perhaps a little one-dimensional, but this is an action movie after all. My favorite part is the music - it sends chills down your spine.<br/><br/>Akira is graphic, but by no means in a gratuitous way. It lets us feel Tetsuo&#39;s agony as he gradually turns into a monster. We also feel his delight at taking his revenge on the older and stronger Kaneda. We feel the &quot;kids&#39;&quot; otherworldly aloofness to all the destruction that is happening. There is nothing that is really gratuitous in this movie. All in all the story is fast-paced and exciting, and raises issues of run-away technological progress that are increasingly relevant in today&#39;s disconnected post-modern world.

&#39;Akira&#39; focus in the conflict of two teenager friends in a cyberpunk japan during a civil war, while one aquires god-like power to gain respect, the other acts instinctly to defeat him. &#39;Akira&#39; is based on a manga series created by Katsuhiro Otomo. It was first published in 1982, was concluded in 1990 and is considered by many to be one of the best mangas of all time. The manga is over 2,000 pages in total and is able to give an in-depth explanation about certain characters. In the movie storyline, the so called &#39;Akira&#39; was a boy who was used as a test subject as well as many other orphan children (including Masaru, Takashi and Kyoko) in a military experiment in 1988 in an attempt to investigate the potential for human supernatural ability. Akira proved to be the best of the group and one of the few who survived the experiment. However, Akira&#39;s powers were too destructive and he did not want to be used as a weapon. Extensive tests on Akira&#39;s body rendered him progressively unstable to the point that he was no longer able to control his own gifts, causing a nuclear explosion and the destruction of Tokyo. After Japan&#39;s downfall in the ensuing Third World War, Akira was subjected to numerous experiments attempting to discover the secret behind his immense power. Akira eventually died under experimentation and his organs were harvested and concealed underground for safekeeping.<br/><br/>There also seems to be a collective consciousness growing in Neo-Tokyo among its residents when the story picks up in 2019: the people in the city believe in Akira as a messiah, seen as a power that will one day save them from the poverty, corruption and civil unrest that Neo-Tokyo is plainly rife with. For that reason, the actual power of Akira is fed by the populace&#39;s collective fear and belief. Akira, as an intangible consciousness due to his extreme power, also appears to reach out to Tetsuo telepathically in order to be freed. The city was teleported to another dimension by Akira in 1988 and 2019. One of Akira&#39;s greatest powers is to create energy fields and teleport anything inside of it. He theoretically caused another Big Bang with Akira and &quot;died&quot; along with the three strange looking children, although it&#39;s theorized that he was elevated to another form of being and created a new universe of his own. The three psychic children do mention inexplicably that one day they would be able to bring Akira and Tetsuo back…but for now they become ultimate energy. The lead scientist had hopes that Tetsuo would be able to unlock the key to figuring out what made Akira so powerful and, likewise, reveal secrets about the creation of the universe, since Tetsuo now possessed almost the same powers that Akira originally had. The scientist was given a warning that Tetsuo was to be killed if his powers were to grow beyond his and their control… and as the expression goes, &quot;curiosity killed the cat&quot;. In the end, his persistant attempts to unlock the secrets of Akira&#39;s power cost him his life. There have been several rumors sparked around the Internet about a potential Akira live-action adaptation, but there will not be one coming out any time soon, at least in the United States. It ultimately comes down to the massive budget that would be required to make the film. There is, however, a fan made trailer for Akira which follows both the manga and the film which can be found on YouTube. Akira is based on a six volume manga which is over 2,000 pages in length. Because the manga gives an in-depth explanation of the origins of Akira, and the movie is already about two hours, certain minor characters and backstories had to be cut/switched in order to fit the time limit of the film, leaving only the important details of the manga and giving abbreviated backstories of minor and major characters. The best way to understand the film is to either re-watch it a couple of times or read the manga. We learn about this information briefly during the memory sequence witnessed by Kaneda: during the 1980s, the children, including Akira, were part of a secret military program dealing with experimentation in supernatural mental powers. The physical toll on their bodies due to the experiments caused them to age drastically, though their growth was stunted and their voices remained child-like. Both Masaru and Kiyoko&#39;s bodies suffered the effects of old age, rendering them unable to move without the assistance of mobile chairs/bedrests, respectively.
