A summary of Akira
Neo-Tokyo has risen from the ashes of World War III to become a dark and
dangerous megalopolis infested with gangs and terrorists. The government
seethes with corruption and only maintains a token control over the powerful
military that prevents total chaos and hides the secrets of the past.
Childhood friends Tetsuo and Kaneda plunge into Neo-Tokyo’s darkest secret
when their motorcycle gang encounters a military operation to retrieve an
escaped experimental subject. Tetsuo, captured by the military, is subjected
to experiments that make him a powerful psychic, but, unfortunately for
Neo-Tokyo, Tetsuo’s powers rage out of control and he lashes out at the
world that has oppressed him! Nothing can stop the destructive forces that
Tetsuo wields except possibly the last boy to destroy Tokyo - AKIRA!
