who believes the data to be critical to the companys interests. The other is the Yakuza guided by Shinji, who
wishes to deny this information to Takahashi and claim
it for themselves. Johnny soon learns that Ral is in the
Yakuzas employ, and ready to kill Johnny to extract the
data storage hardware. Jane, a cybernetically-enhanced
bodyguard, helps Johnny to escape, and aided by the LoTeks, an anti-establishment group led by J-Bone, they

Plot
In 2021, Johnny is a mnemonic courier with a data storage device implanted in his brain, allowing him to discreetly carry information too sensitive to transfer across
the Net, the virtual-reality equivalent of the Internet.
While lucrative, the implant has cost Johnny his childhood memories, and he seeks to have the implant removed to regain his memories back; his handler, Ral
assigns him one more job that would cover the costs of
the operation (which are extremely expensive), sending
Johnny to Beijing to deliver the latest information.

an overexposure to electromagnetic radiation from omnipresent technological devices, and is presented as a raging epidemic aecting the world in the future. The plot
of the lm revolves around the one pharmaceutical corporation that has found a cure but chooses to withhold it

bodyguard states that it had been a long time since she
was in this room. In the book, the Dog Sisters (bodyguards) are muscle grafted creations, and are lovers, one
of whom was originally a man. Jane refers to her grenade
as a bottle opener on two dierent occasions instead of
the US dialogue that refers to it simply as a grenade. The
Street Preacher (also known as Karl Honig and played by
Dolph Lundgren) character has an added scene where he
is addressing his followers where he claims to have been
stricken by the sickness that devours the silver pathways
of the soul, and has been healed by the Lord making him
post-human. He then notices Takahashis henchmen arriving with a cryogenic container (for Johnnys head) and
tells his followers that he must now leave to meditate.
Throughout the movie, his character has a few extra lines
that are shouted out during action scenes.
There are minor additions (usually less than a second or
two in length) throughout the lm. The scenes where the
troops storm the bridge near have been edited resulting in
a slightly dierent order of events. The nal hack your
own brain sequence has also been similarly edited with
the inclusion of altered dialogue.[2][7]
