A new, big budget adaptation of the long running, hugely popular horror/action anime of the same name.

Akira is opposed by his former best friend, the somewhat psychotic Ryo (Yusuke Izaki, twin brother of Hisato, and fellow ‘Flame’ member), who becomes an equally powerful demon, and a host of other creatures that pop in and out of the story…
