Fifty years of war between the Great Eastern Federation and Europa - now merged as Eurasia - have taken their toll on planet Earth. As a result of the use of biological, chemical and nuclear weapons, much of Earth has become uninhabitable and people have become prey to new diseases. Professor Azuma's "neo-cell" project, which is supposed to be the answer to mankind's hardships, becomes a nightmare come true when mutants spawned from the experiment escape and declare war on the human race. Azuma's son Tetsuya, who was killed during the previous war, is reborn into the cyborg Casshern as mankind's last hope against the new mutant threat. This live-action sci-fi movie based on a 1973 Japanese animé of the same name.

Casshern (jap. キャシャーン, Kyashān) ist eine Realverfilmung basierend auf der 1973 erschienenen japanischen Anime-Serie , die im Jahr 2008 durch Casshern Sins neu verfilmt wurde. Die Handlung wurde dabei nur in groben Zügen übernommen, um sie in Spielfilmlänge präsentieren zu können. Der Film wurde in Deutschland erstmals am 3. August 2005 im Rahmen des Fantasy Filmfests gezeigt. Wie Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow oder Sin City verwendet der Film die Digital-Backlot-Technik, bei der die Schauspieler vor einem Greenscreen gefilmt werden und die Hintergründe so über den gesamten Film hinweg digital eingefügt wurden. Dadurch wird der Manga/Anime-Stil unterstrichen.
