2029: A female cybernetic government agent, Major Motoko Kusanagi, and the Internal Bureau of Investigations are hot on the trail of "The Puppet Master," a mysterious and threatening computer virus capable of infiltrating human hosts. Together with her fellow agents from Section 9, Kusanagi embarks on a high-tech race against time to capture the omnipresent entity. Director Mamoru Oshii's award-winning cyber-tech thriller, based on the manga by Shirow Masamune, is lauded as one of the greatest and most influential anime movies of all time.

“Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell will always strike a chord with those directly affected by bodily displacement. By being brave enough to confront its themes of identity, Ghost in the Shell stands tall as one of the very best films ever made about being an alien in your own skin.” Willow Maclay, Rogerebert.com
“This is a work of profound and melancholic beauty; every bit as essential in the 21st century as it was in the 20th.” Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph
