The year is 2071. Following a terrorist bombing, a deadly virus is released on the populace of Mars and the government has issued a 300 million woo-long reward, the largest bounty in history, for the capture of whoever is behind it. The bounty hunter crew of the spaceship Bebop; Spike, Faye, Jet and Ed, take the case with hopes of cashing in the bounty…

Known in Japan as Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, this visually thrilling expansion from the ever-popular anime series more than stands the test of time — in fact it feels more timely now than it did back in 2001.

A brilliant feature-length anime that’s good enough to deserve mention in the same breath as Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Spirited Away.

Honors the affectless beauty of the original anime art and maintains the outlaw boppiness of the series concept.

Even with its slow-moving observations of its recreation of the modern world and its characters’ introspections about the meaning of their lives, the film defies the idea that a feature-length episode of Cowboy Bebop would be anything less than thrilling. It simply rocks as an action movie.
