Ready? Set. Go! The 15th anniversary of Takeshi Koike’s Redline is off to the races with this special screening of the cult classic anime film.
Every 5 years, Redline, an illegal, galactic, no holds barred racing tournament is held at a mystery location, revealed only moments before the starting whistle blows. This year the destination is Roboworld, a dangerous planet subject to militant government rule by overlords determined to put a stop to the tournament by any means necessary. Sweet JP, a daredevil intent on victory, and Sonoshee McLaren, an alluring rising star in the circuit, compete for keeps, attempting to outwit the mob, the government, and other bloodthirsty racers in order to reach the golden finish line alive.
A wildly exhilarating and visually inventive ride from Studio Madhouse and winner of the UTOPIALES Audience Award at the Locarno International Film Festival, Redline is a theatrical experience like no other. Get ready to start your engines.
