Akira15
Neo-Tokyo has risen from the ruins of World War III, a dazzling, neon-soaked city where corruption and lawlessness thrive beneath the surface. Tearing through its streets are Kaneda and Tetsuo, two delinquents and fellow members of a biker gang. When a chance collision pulls them into a secret government experiment, Tetsuo is changed in ways neither of them could have imagined. What follows is one of the most electrifying and visually stunning animated films ever made.
Reviews
‘Style and substance run neck and neck in this thrilling, bold landmark film that just refuses to become dated.’

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
