In 2015, humanity faces the greatest threat ever known: mysterious beings called Angels who spread panic and destruction wherever they appear. Nobody knows its origin or its motivations. In order to stop this deadly threat, the United Nations has commissioned the secret organization Nerv to create gigantic androids: the Evangelions. New remastered edition with new montage that conveys director Hideaki Anno's latest vision of the first Evangelion film. This new montage includes some redrawn scenes, while the Rebirth segment has been removed from the footage, permanently incorporated into the final cut of The End of Evangelion.
