What Is Alita: Battle Angel About?
Alita: Battle Angel follows the life of a cyborg named Alita (played by Rosa Salazar) who was raised by Dr. Ido (played by Christoph Waltz) in Iron City. Although she has little knowledge of her past, she slowly unearths her background and mission through Motorball, a battle-royale style game. Not to mention, she is hunted by bounty hunters and Vector (played by Mahershala Ali).
