Imagine waking up on a trash heap, with only part of your body intact — then realizing you aren’t even human. Rosa Salazar plays the cyborg Alita, who snaps back into consciousness with no memories and only the faintest understanding of who she is. Dr. Ido, a kindly scientist played by Christoph Waltz, finds Alita, gives her a new body, and watches over her recovery. But the cyborg obviously has a past, and it starts to catch up with her quickly — and dangerously.

Producer James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic) has dreamed of adapting the manga Battle Angel Alita for decades and now his vision is ready to hit the big screen, courtesy of director Robert Rodriguez (The Faculty, Spy Kids). Jennifer Connelly, Ed Skrein, Michelle Rodriguez, and Mahershala Ali co-star, with Ali playing two roles.
