On his way to save Tetsuo, Kaneda runs into a group of anti-government activists, greedy politicians, irresponsible scientists and a powerful military leader.

Movie Quote(s):

The Colonel: It's a soldier's duty. You wouldn't understand.
Kei: Amoebas don't build houses and bridges, they only eat.
Kei: Amoebas don't make motorcycles and atomic bombs!
Tetsuo: Let's run away somewhere. Kaori: Where would we go? Tetsuo: Anywhere. Just the farther the better.
Kaneda: This has GOT to be a trap. Kei: Then go back. Kaneda: No. I just have to find how MUCH of it is a trap.

Movie Trivia:

This was one of the first Japanese anime films to have the character's voices recorded before they were animated. While this is the typical practice in U.S. animation, in Japan the animation is generally produced first.
The film was re-released in 2001 with a new voice dub and soundtrack, reportedly costing over $1 million US Dollars.
At one point in the 1990s, Sony contemplated a live-action version of the film, but scrapped the idea when the projected budget went north of US$300 million.
The music for the film was completed before any of the composers saw a frame of film or read the script. The music did have to be edited to fit some scenes though.
The production budget was nearly $10 Million US Dollars, a record sum in Japanese animation film.
