The first chapter in this three-part cinematic adaptation of the popular "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" anime series introduces us to a world where the once-proud Britannian Empire now rules over Earth with an iron fist, including Japan, which is renamed Area 11. Among the oppressed population rises a young genius strategist named Lelouch Lamperouge, who holds a mysterious power - the ability to command anything he sees when he wears a distinctive mask. As leader of the rebellion against Britannia, Lelouch forms alliances and plots counterattacks, all while hiding his true identity and personal vendetta from his comrades-in-arms. This thrilling first installment masterfully combines action, political intrigue, and thought-provoking themes like the nature of power and resistance, making for an engaging and immersive movie experience.
