Ten years after Japan withdrew from the U.N., cut their ties with all the nations of the
Earth, and built an impenetrable electromagnetic field to prevent any outsiders from
entering their borders, a high-tech American commando unit is dispatched on an
unofficial mission to penetrate the shield surrounding the country and gather information
about their highly advanced robotics program. The year is 2077, and Japan has been
accused of conducting illegal robotics research. As a result, the leaders of Japan have
decided to construct a massive electromagnetic field known as RACE to prevent any
further meddling in their domestic affairs. Meanwhile, back in the United States, an elite
commando unit dubbed SWORD launches a surprise attack on a powerful Nipponese
conglomerate known as Daiwa Heavy Industries and nearly captures primary android
Saito (voice of Akio Otsuka). The leader of SWORD is fearless commando Vexille (voice
of Meisa Kuroki), and though she may have failed to capture Saito Vexille is determined
to succeed at her team's next mission. American intelligence has gathered that Daiwa
has recently made substantial advancements in the realm of robotics, and despite the
difficulty of breaching Japan's borders they are determined to learn these valuable trade
secrets. In order to make this happen, Vexille and her boyfriend Leon (voice of Shosuke
Tanihara}) will have seventy-two hours to lead their team into Japan, gather the
information on Daiwa's robotics program, and get out. It's a secret mission that hasn't
been officially sanctioned by the U.S. government, but could benefit that current leaders
and politicians greatly. But once in Japan Vexille is separated from the group, and quickly
discovers that Saito has been awaiting their arrival. Upon awakening in a barrio-like
district that was once the capital of Japan, Vexille quickly teams with resistance fighter
Maria (voice of Yasuko Matsuyuki) - a former girlfriend of Leon's who also harbors a
growing grudge against Daiwa. Later, after Vexille gathers the necessary resources and
locates the rest of her team, she, Leon, and Maria lead a daring attack on Daiwa's
artificial, offshore fortress. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
