GUNDAM War is inherited. Hope is piloted. Synopsis In a future where Earth’s nations and offworld colonies are locked in a fragile balance, a young pilot is forced into the cockpit of a Gundam after a sudden escalation reveals that political order is collapsing into open war. What begins as a desperate defense of humanity becomes a larger battle over memory, sovereignty, sacrifice, and whether machines can preserve peace or only magnify the violence already inside people. Atlantis Pictures’ version is designed as a serious, emotionally grounded war epic with towering mecha action, inspired by the solemn heroism and tragic scale of The Last Samurai. The film centers on a human core first, then expands into massive, fast, fluid mech warfare that feels unlike anything audiences have seen before.
