    Fans of classic anime will delight in this awesomely retro sci-fi extravaganza teeming with pop-psychedelic visuals and whiz-bang-pow action. Assembled from a selection of episodes from the popular 1970s Japanese television series, GATCHAMAN: THE MOVIE brings together the original color-coded teenage superheroes known as Gatchaman, bird-suited ninja warriors who must fight to save the Earth from an intergalactic terrorist organization threatening world peace. With its comic-book verve, this touchstone of golden-age anime helped shape the team-superhero genre for decades to come.

    The light signal of a secondary railway station stops the composition of the night train. The railwayman checks the correctness of the axles by tapping on the wheels. All the passengers are asleep, respond to knocking, but do not wake up. Only the passengers in the most elegant part of the train, in the sleeping cars, get upset. They are energetically demanding that the railwayman who taps the wheels with a hammer be driven away. When the train officials do this, the composition starts. Due to a faulty axle on the sleeping car, the train falls into a ravine at one turn.
