The film is a sequel to the 2017 3DCG anime series INFINI-T FORCE (??????? ????, Infiniti Foosu), which celebrated the 55th anniversary of Tatsunoko Production with a team-up of the company`s greatest superheroes: Ken of the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, Tekkaman the Space Knight, Hurricane Polimar and Neo-Human Casshan. Following the events of the series, the heroes returned to their respective worlds. But the story wasn`t over, and once again they are drawn back to modern-day Shibuya when the evil organization Galactor returns. And -- to their surprise -- Ken, Tekkaman, Polymar and Casshan are also opposed by Ken`s mentor, Dr. Nambu, and Gatchaman ally, Joe the Condor. The main voice cast for INFINI-T FORCE has returned for the movie. They are joined by Eiichiro Funakoshi as Dr. Nambu, and Kazuma Suzuki as George Asakura aka Joe the Condor. Jun Matsumoto (BLOOD+, GHOST IN THE SHELL: STAND ALONE COMPLEX) is directing, and the 3DCG animation is once again produced by Digital Frontier (GANTZ: O, DEATH NOTE Light up the NEW world). INFINI-T FORCE THE MOVIE opens in theaters across Japan on February 24th.
