In 1988, an explosion caused by a young boy with psychic powers destroyed Tokyo and led to World War III. The boy was captured and taken into custody, never to be seen or heard from again. Now in 2019, Neo-Tokyo stands in the place of the original city, plagued by gang violence and terrorism against the government. Shoutarou Kaneda leads "the Capsules," a group of misfits known for riding large custom motorcycles and constantly battling their rivals "the Clowns." During one such battle, Tetsuo Shima is involved in an accident with an escaped esper who has returned to Tokyo. This encounter causes Tetsuo to develop his own mysterious abilities, prompting the government to attempt to quarantine him in a desperate effort to prevent him from unleashing the destructive power that could once again devastate the city.

Akira won the Silver Scream Award, the audience award of the Amsterdam-based Imagine Film Festival, in 1992 and was nominated for the American Anime Awards Best Anime Feature award in 2007.
