The film is set in the not-too-distant future, when an unnamed government uses lifelike cyborgs or \"enhanced\" humans for undercover work. One of the key cyborgs is The Major, Motoko Kusanagi, who resembles a cross between The Terminator and a Playboy centerfold. She finds herself caught up in a tangled web of espionage and counterespionage as she searches for the mysterious superhacker known as \"The Puppet Master.\"\nMamoru Oshii directs with a staccato rhythm, alternating sequences of rapid-fire action (car chases, gun battles, explosions) with static dialogue scenes that allow the characters to sort out the vaguely mystical and rather convoluted plot. Kusanagi's final quote from I Corinthians suggests that electronic evolution may compliment and eventually supplant organic evolution. The minor nudity, profanity, and considerable violence would earn Ghost in the Shell at least a PG rating. --Charles Solomon\n\nProduct Description\n\nSet in the year 2029 and following World Wars III and IV, a Japanese-led Asian block dominates world affairs. The alliance maintains its international supremacy through its elite security force whose cybernetically enhanced operatives tackle an array of hi-tech terrorists and other threats to international security. These augmented agents can \"ghost hack\" (i.e., download their consciousness) via the now omnipresent internet into other machines and human\/machine cross breeds. Major Motoko Kusanagi, a cybernetically augmented female agent, has been tracking a virtual entity known as the Puppet Master with her crack squad of security agents. The shape-shifting Puppet Master, a rogue creation of a rival agency of the security apparatus, has concluded that it is a life form in its own right, \"born in sea of information,\" and requested political asylum and true physical existence in defiance of its creators.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 6304493681\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.6304493681.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yoshimasa Mizou|Shigeru Watanabe|Ken Iyadomi|Mitsuhisa Ishikawa|Manga Entertainment|Mamoru Oshii\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49565718118698,"sku":"GGV.6304493681.G","price":10.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_4d1a0aec-f4dd-497c-9eda-d10a7a665f2e.jpg?v=1731182976","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/ghost-in-the-shell","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
