Combat. In the warehouse district of post-World War III Neo-Tokyo, a showdown is taking place. Two young men, once friends, are engaged in a struggle to destroy each other. Kaneda, rebellious gang leader, had a magnum revolver plus his own wit and determination as weapons. Tetsuo, who recently took over the murderous Clown gang, has devastating psychic powers. He has already used them to kill, swiftly, explosively. Fueled by drugs and madness, he is ready to kill again. Hoping to save Kaneda in this unequal clash is Kay, agent of the underground resistance movement. Hoping to win over Tetsuo is the Colonel, head of a secret government project that needs the youth's paranormal power to control a much greater threat on the verge of awakening...AKIRA.
