The mindbending sci-fi anime film Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is coming back to cinemas for a limited run in a brand-new 4K resolution this Thursday.

In this sequel to groundbreaking animated film Ghost in the Shell, director Mamoru Oshii pushes further into the world and concepts first developed in the original film – aka one of the most iconic anime films ever made.

‘In 2032, as humans and machines increasingly overlap, Public Security Section 9 investigates a series of uncharged murders by a prototype android. Agents Batou, a detective with a cyber-enhanced body, and his human partner Togusa navigate a technological dystopia, confronting Yakuza, hackers, and corrupt officials to reveal a shocking corporate conspiracy.’
