    It is the year 2019, 30 years after the first AKIRA project led to the destruction of Tokyo and the start of World War III. The original AKIRA project was a secret experiment to develop a new form of human evolution through the manipulation of the abilities and powers of psychically gifted children. The military hoped to use the children as living weapons, while the scientists had hoped to develop a new genetically superior human being.

    But both the military and anime scientists involved in the project learned too late that the power they were seeking could not be controlled. Akira, one of the children involved in the experiment, developed into a force so great, the he literally destroyed everything about him through a terrifying burst of psychic energy, setting off a nuclear-like explosion which led to the world war.

    Now, 30 years later, the military and scientific communities decide to revive the AKIRA project, deluded by narrow-mindedness into thinking they could control a power their predecessors could not.
