The mysterious terrorist is planning to destroy the population of Mars (the capital of the Solar System) with an unknown pathogen. The bounty hunter team of the spaceship "Bebop" begins the search for the criminal. Their goal is to capture the perpetrator before the attack occurs.
Most movies based on TV series are either prequels or sequels. "Cowboy Bebop" is more of a spin-off. Because of this, the film not only neatly avoids the dramatic finale of the series, but also becomes the perfect entry point into the "Cowboy Bebop" universe. It's a great option for those who want to get acquainted with the cult anime, but are not ready to spend time on the entire series.
