Fullmetal Alchemist - The Series
A Hollywood Netflix Production
In a world where alchemy is the ultimate science, governed by the ironclad law of equivalent exchange—to obtain something, something of equal value must be lost—two brothers pay the ultimate price for a desperate, forbidden attempt to defy the laws of nature. Edward and Alphonse Elric, young prodigies gifted in the art of transmutation, lose their bodies in a tragic experiment gone wrong, leaving Edward with a mechanical prosthetic limb and Alphonse as a soul bound to an empty suit of armor. Haunted by their failure and driven by the hope of restoring what was stolen, the brothers embark on a perilous journey to find the legendary Philosopher's Stone, an artifact said to bypass the laws of alchemy. Joining the ranks of the military as State Alchemists, they become the "Fullmetal Alchemist" and his silent guardian, serving under the enigmatic Colonel Roy Mustang, the Flame Alchemist. As they navigate a web of military conspiracies, industrial corruption, and the shadows of the sinister Homunculi—artificial beings created by a mysterious figure known as "Father"—the brothers must confront the ethical limits of their power. From the depths of State laboratories to the furthest borders of the nation of Amestris, their quest evolves into a fight for the survival of their country and the very soul of humanity. Blending hard-hitting action with profound philosophical inquiries, this epic saga explores themes of grief, redemption, and the heavy burden of consequence, proving that even when the price of truth is devastating, the bond between brothers remains the most powerful alchemy of all.
