When Zeon raiders devastate his home, the orbiting space colony Side 7, Amuro stumbles into the cockpit of the Federation's secret weapon, the Gundam Mobile Suit RX-78. His talent as a pilot brings him into conflict with the dashing, unscrupulous Zeon ace Char Aznable. Amuro finds his resolve tested as he interacts with the other characters, who have also been pressed into service. Although the story is far from over, the film ends with Amuro tentatively accepting his role as a soldier. Rated 13 Up: Minor profanity, violence. --Charles Solomon
