Synopsis:

After the devastation of World War III, the scattered governments of the world have engineered a modern utopia - a refuge governed by artificially created half-human, half-robot Biodroids. However, the carefully controlled and heavily monitored life inside Olympus is not for everyone. Unable to cope with life inside the gilded cage, a rash of suicides among citizens relocated from the exterior wastelands heralds a desperate plot by a dedicated band of terrorists to destroy Gaia - Olympus' near-omnipotent central computer - and restore freedom to mankind. It's up to Olympus' SWAT team leader Deunan Knute and her fellow officers to unravel the terrorists' plans and preserve paradise. An adaptation of the best-selling manga by Masamune Shirow, Appleseed is a high-octane race against time where the future of a civilization hangs in the balance.
