Synopsis

Young Shotaro Kaneda inherits Tetsujin 28, the giant robot designed by his late father. As mechanized crime and the schemes of robot-mafia leader Branch threaten the peace, he works with Dr. Shikishima and Inspector Otsuka to stop them.

Shotaro directs the robot through a remote controller, but its immense strength becomes a danger if that device falls into the wrong hands. Facing destructive machines and attempts to seize control, he must keep his father’s legacy working to protect people rather than dominate them.
