009 Re:Cyborg synopsis:
An exciting feature length reboot of CYBORG 009, Shotaro Ishinomori's influential 1960s sci-fi/adventure manga series, 009 RE: CYBORG is produced by Production I.G. (GHOST IN THE SHELL) and directed by Kenji Kamiyama – series director for GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX and EDEN OF THE EAST.

In 1964, nine regular humans from different parts of the world were abducted by an evil organization and transformed into cyborgs with astounding powers for the purpose of being used as weapons. However, the cyborgs turned against their creators and started a long fight in the name of justice. Once they had helped to finally restore peace, they eventually disappeared from the pages of history. 

It is now 2013. Skyscrapers across the world are being hit by suicide bombers with no apparent connection. The nine heroes have gathered once again to fight against this faceless menace. They appear untouched by time, but society around them has changed dramatically, along with the very idea of the “justice” they used to believe in... What is their role in the world now? And what is lying behind the rash of skyscraper bombings that is terrorizing all nations across the Earth? The vital clue lies in the skeleton of a seemingly impossible creature. As cities are consumed by the apocalypse, could it really be an act of God?
