First there was Akira, then there was Ghost in the Shell! See this anime classic how it was intended to be viewed – on the big screen in glorious HD! 2029 – A female cybernetic government agent, Major Motoko Kusanagi, and the Internal Bureau of Investigations are hot on the trail of “The Puppet Master”, a mysterious and threatening computer virus capable of infiltrating human hosts.

Together, with her fellow agents from Section 9, they embark on a high-tech race against time to capture the omnipresent entity.

GHOST IN THE SHELL took the world by storm, exhibiting a new dimension of anime with unprecedented, mesmerising cinematic expression.

Seamlessly merging traditional cel animation with the latest computer graphic imagery, this stunning sci-fi spectacle challenged the boundaries of mainstream animation with detailed artistic expression and a uniquely intelligent story line.

Veteran director Mamoru Oshii skilfully creates the ultimate anime experience in this futuristic masterpiece based on the ground-breaking comic book by Masamune Shirow.

A movie that questions human existence in the fast-paced world of the information age, this award-winning, cyber-tech thriller has established itself as one of the best-selling Japanese animation films of all time.
