Netflix 影集《攻壳机动队：SAC_2045》第 1 季脱胎换骨，推出长篇动画电影版。不仅加入全新场景，片中所有画面皆重新调色。本片由藤井道人执导，他的真人电影导演作品包括入围六项日本电影金像奖的《新闻记者》，以及《家族极道物语》。
The story of the movie is somewhat based on the plot of the most recent game, "Sakura Wars 3," released back in March this year. While the game features Lieutenant Ohgami, the main character who takes off for Paris, narrates one side of the story, the movie unveils the secrets behind Hanagumi. Ohgami leaves for Paris, consequently leaving Hanagumi without a leader; thus a new character will be introduced here. To be replaced with Lieutenant Ohgami is the former leader of Hoshigumi, Rachette Artile - a rationalistic and distinct individual, who brings about serious problems to Hanagumi. The members are now in discord with Rachette. Meanwhile, Teikoku Kagekidan was being threatened by some irrelevant demons and a new type of anti-kouma mechas, (brought by an american company) appears and tries to replace the koubu-kai. Having made repeated mistakes due to the absence of Ohgami, Hanagumi is now faced with an unprecedented danger, while the abolishment of Teikoku Kagekidan Hanagumi is being schemed.
