Patlabor 2 - The Movie

Haneda tarmac at o’dark-thirty. A hijacked VTOL jet’s shadow stretches too long across empty runway. The Special Vehicle Section’s mecha squad dismantle the drone carrying a single crate—then realize the explosives inside are live. A general seizes the scare to lock Tokyo down. A bureaucrat’s last visit to an old friend in Kadena turns into a cat-and-mouse between red berets and olive drab.
