A mysterious suicide and a series of unmanned robot run-aways sparks off a Police investigation into the suspicious software on-board thousands of industrial robots around Tokyo. Step by step, the police find themselves tangled up by the web of a perfect crime which awaits the approaching Typhoon to activate thousands of virus affected robots. As time runs out, Asuma and his team must complete a task that is doomed to be a failure before the Typhoon lands Tokyo.
You may think Patlabor is going to be the most awesome animated robot-film you've seen, but here's the thing; it isn't for everyone. Yes it has giant mechas that can turn other giant robots into scrap metal, but that stuff isn't what the main focus is on. Patlabor is a slow-paced film that takes time to develop a story about ethics regarding robot workers, and a crime which is way bigger than you'd thought. A sequel was made in 1993, and that one is even more complex. Sophisticated robot drama.
Genre: Animation/Action/Crime
