Set in a bleak future ,the earth has degenerated into a rotting mechanical trash-heap inhabited by hulking cyborgs, merciless bounty hunters and other misfits of society. Floating above this pollution is the nirvana that is Zarem, a germ-free haven for the social elite of the planet. Working amidst the waste is a brilliant cybernetic scientist named Dr Ido, who one day stumbles across the wreckage of a centuries-old cyborg. Calling her Alita, he works painstakingly to rebuild her. Brought back to life, Alita has no memory of her past, but when her extraordinary powers are realised she enters the cut throat world of the hunter-warrior. |
