The story begins in present-day Tokyo, where we are introduced to a skilled gunman named Captain Kusanagi, a former member of an elite military unit. Kusanagi, haunted by a tragic past, now wanders the city as a solo mercenary, taking on small-time jobs to numb his pain. However, his solitude is disrupted when a mysterious young woman, Laima, appears at his doorstep. With piercing green eyes and a captivating presence, Laima has traveled back in time from a post-apocalyptic future to find Kusanagi, the only person who can help her prevent a catastrophic alien invasion that will soon ravage the planet. Laima's mission begins to unravel a complex timeline, where humanity has been all but eradicated by an intelligent and technologically advanced extraterrestrial species. The aliens, led by a ruthless commander named Delsin, have been quietly infiltrating Earth, manipulating key figures and organizations to set the stage for their invasion. Kusanagi, initially hesitant to become embroiled in Laima's mission, is drawn into her world by the sheer force of her conviction and determination. As he embarks on this perilous journey, he is forced to confront the harsh realities of his past and the true nature of humanity.

Throughout the film, the stakes escalate dramatically as the clock ticks down to the alien invasion. Kusanagi and Laima must navigate a maze of conspiracy and deception, facing off against a range of formidable foes, including heavily armed mercenaries, corrupt government agents, and even rogue military units.

In a climactic showdown, Kusanagi and Laima face off against the alien invaders in a heart-pumping, effects-driven battle that tests the limits of human endurance.
