Ghost in the Shell

Set in a hyper-networked future, Ghost in the Shell follows Major Motoko Kusanagi, a cybernetically enhanced operative working for Section 9 — an elite government agency that handles cyber-crime and terrorism. As she hunts a mysterious hacker known as the Puppet Master, the Major begins to question the nature of her own existence: Is she more machine than human? Is the soul (or "ghost") still real in a fully digitized world?

Combining existential themes with breathtaking animation and eerie ambient music, the film explores consciousness, identity, and what it means to be human in an age where minds can be hacked and bodies are replaceable.
