Neo-Tokyo has risen from the ashes of a Tokyo obliterated by a monstrous psychokinetic power known only as Akira* a being who yet lives* secretly imprisoned in frozen stasis. Those who stand guard know that Akira's awakening is a terrifying inevitability. Tetsuo* an angry young man with immense and rapidly growing psychic abilities* may be their only hope to control Akira when he wakes.

A clandestine group including his former best friend sets out to destroy Tetsuo before he can release Akira or before Tetsuo himself becomes so powerful that no force on Earth can stop him.
