NEW 4K RESTORATION
Includes 16 minutes of bonus content featuring an extensive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film
In the year 2032, the line between humans and machines has been blurred almost beyond distinction. A string of murders perpetrated by a prototype android model has drawn the attention of Public Security Section 9, a unit specializing in counter cyber-terrorism. With none of the victims' families pressing charges, suspicions arise regarding the nature of the androids and their production company. In the course of the investigation, the almost entirely cyber-bodied agent Batou, and his still human partner Togusa embark on a journey through a technological dystopia, taking on ferocious Yakuza thugs, devious hackers, government bureaucrats, and corporate criminals to uncover the shocking truth behind the crime.
Acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii pushes further into the world and concepts first developed in his groundbreaking film Ghost in the Shell, considered one of the most important and iconic anime films ever made. With its thought-provoking speculations on artificial intelligence, which have only become more relevant in our present world Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence celebrates its 20th anniversary returning to cinemas in a lustrous new 4K restoration.
"Innocence revisits imagery from the first film. But this time computer animation pumps everything up to epic proportions. The results are overwhelming." —M. E. Russell, Portland Oregonian
