2008 Japanese anime film directed by Mamoru Oshii

导演押井守时隔四年的动画电影《空中杀手》的上映，为全世界的影迷所期待。 　　押井导演将数码技术导入动画，作为拓宽了表现广度的先驱者闻名于世，1995年公映的《GHOST IN THE SHELL攻壳机动队》，在美国录像带销售排行榜上获得第一名，对那之后的好莱坞电影也产生了很大影响。 　　押井守的作品无论是镜头运用还是色调气氛都冰冷沉重，押井守的粉丝固定，其中就包括《黑客帝国》的导演沃卓斯基兄弟。 　　长达一年多的时间里，NHK在制作现场见证了《空中杀手》的诞生，像这样被允许长期拍摄制作现场还是第一次

Cyborg detective Batou is assigned to investigate a series of murders committed by gynoids—doll-like cyborgs, which all malfunctioned, killed, then self-destructed afterwards. The brains of the gynoids initialize in order to protect their manufacturer's software, but in one gynoid, which Batou himself neutralized, one file remains: a voice speaking the phrase "Help me."

In the year 2029, the barriers of our world have been broken down by the net and by cybernetics, but this brings new vulnerability to humans in the form of brain-hacking. When a highly-wanted hacker known as 'The Puppetmaster' begins involving them in politics, Section 9, a group of cybernetically enhanced cops, are called in to investigate and stop the Puppetmaster.
