NEVADA THEATRE 3/2 - GHOST IN THE SHELL: Join us for our Cult ‘95 retrospective as we revisit some of the greatest cult films of 1995, 30 years later! A box office disappointment upon release, GHOST IN THE SHELL is now considered one of the greatest anime and science-fiction films of all time, and famously inspired The Wachowskis in the creation of their film THE MATRIX. GHOST IN THE SHELL follows cyborg federal agent Motoko Kusanagi (Atsuko Tanaka) as she trails an elusive criminal known as "The Puppet Master" (Iemasa Kayumi), who illegally hacks into the computerized minds of cyborg-human hybrids. Her pursuit of a man who can modify the identity of strangers leaves Motoko pondering her own makeup and what life might be like if she had more human traits.
