Ghost in the Shell
It found a voice... Now it needs a body.
Directed by Mamoru Oshii
Produced by Bandai Visual, Production I.G
A visually stunning, philosophically dense cyberpunk thriller that uses a pursuit narrative to explore questions of consciousness, identity, and what it means to be human in an age of technological transcendence.
In the year 2029, the barriers of our world have been broken down by the net and by cybernetics, but this brings new vulnerability to humans in the form of brain-hacking. When a highly-wanted hacker known as 'The Puppetmaster' begins involving them in politics, Section 9, a group of cybernetically enhanced cops, are called in to investigate and stop the Puppetmaster.
