rubble of a Tokyo destroyed by an apocalyptic telekinetic blast
from a young boy called Akira--the subject of a covert government
experiment gone wrong now imprisoned for three decades in frozen
stasis. But Tetsuo, an unstable youth with immense paranormal
abilities of his own, has done the unthinkable: He has released
Akiraand set into motion a chain of events that could once again
destroy the city and drag the world to the brink of Armageddon.
Resistance agents and an armada of government forces race against
the clock to find the child with godlike powers before his
unstoppable destructive abilities are unleashed.

imagination.
