Plot
On July 16, 1988, Tokyo is destroyed by an apparent nuclear explosion, leading to the start of World War III. Thirty-one years later, Neo-Tokyo, a new metropolis built on an artificial island in Tokyo Bay, is gripped by political strife, anti-government terrorism, and gang violence. Shotaro Kaneda leads his bōsōzoku gang, the Capsules, which find themselves in a turf war with a rival gang known as the Clowns. As Kaneda and his best friend, Tetsuo, battle a pair of Clowns on a highway, Tetsuo almost runs into a child with wizened features and is injured when his bike suddenly explodes. Tetsuo and the child, Takashi, are captured by armed soldiers. Tetsuo is taken to a military hospital and experimented on while Kaneda and his gang are taken in for questioning. While they are being held, Kaneda unsuccessfully flirts with a young woman named Kei, a member of the terrorist Resistance. Kaneda, Kei, and the remaining Capsules are later released..
Colonel Shikishima and Doctor Onishi, two members of a secret government project, discover that Tetsuo possesses mental frequencies similar to Akira, a little boy with immense mental abilities who destroyed Tokyo decades before. Kiyoko, another one of the aged psychic children called the Espers, has visions of a similar destruction of Neo-Tokyo, leading the Colonel to order that Tetsuo be killed should his power escalate beyond their control. Upon escaping from a military hospital, Tetsuo meets up with his girlfriend, Kaori, and steals Kaneda's motorcycle. As they attempt to leave the city, they are assaulted by Clowns, whom Kaneda and the gang defeat upon their arrival. As Kaneda helps the couple recover, Tetsuo begins to suffer a painful headache and is discovered by the Doctor and his team. On the Doctor's orders, Tetsuo is taken away in a government van > continued here
