APPLESEED is set in the year 2131 right as tensions are starting to build up in Utopia between the humans and the bioroids. Now that the peaceful coexistence has been shattered between the two, Deunan Knute, a survivor of the war, will play a key role in the future of humanity.

Four baby turtles come in contact with a mysterious substance called ooze and then are transformed into human sized crime fighters. The leader of the turtles is a human size rat who has come into contact with the same green ooze. The rat was a former pet of a ninja master and therefore uses his skills to train the four turtles in martial arts. They befriend a local journalist and with her help attempt to find the group behind a crime wave in New York City. Starring Josh Pais ("The Station Agent," "A Beautiful Mind"), Elias Koteas ("Zodiac," "Fallen"), and Judith Hoag ("Armageddon," "Cadillac Man").
