Alita: Battle Angel is a sci-fi action film directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron. The movie is based on Yukito Kishiro’s manga series Gunnm (also known as Battle Angel Alita). Set in a dystopian future, the story follows Alita (played by Rosa Salazar), a cyborg who is discovered in a scrapyard by Dr. Dyson Ido (Christoph Waltz), a scientist who specializes in cybernetic enhancements.

As she embarks on a quest to uncover her true identity and origins, Alita finds herself drawn into the violent and corrupt world of Iron City, where she faces powerful enemies, including deadly bounty hunters and a sinister ruling elite.

Throughout the film, Alita navigates the complexities of her human emotions, developing relationships with Dr. Ido and a young man named Hugo (Keean Johnson), all while battling dangerous forces that seek to control her. Along the way, she discovers her connection to an ancient war and a lost, advanced technology that could change the fate of the world.
