Synopsis

Post-war Tokyo: boy detective Shotaro and robot Tetsujin 28 battle ancient weapons threatening fragile peace.

This theatrical adaptation of Yokoyama Mitsuteru's classic manga follows the adventures of Kaneda Shotaro, a brilliant young detective, and his towering mechanical companion, Tetsujin 28. Set in a Tokyo rebuilding itself a decade after World War II, the story explores a world where advanced robotics technology developed during the war has found new purpose in peacetime. As Shotaro navigates his dual life as both a schoolboy and a guardian of justice, mysterious threats begin to emerge across the city. Ancient weapons of immense destructive power, remnants of a bygone era, resurface to challenge the fragile peace. With his faithful robot by his side, Shotaro must confront the shadows of the past while protecting the future of a nation still healing from war's wounds. The film weaves together themes of family legacy, the cost of technological advancement, and the responsibility that comes with wielding great power in a world striving for peace.
