The Major's real name is Mira and she survived a terrorist attack that destroyed her body. Her brain was then placed on a robotic body by Dr. Ouelet, a scientist for Hanka Robotics.
The Major leads an elite counter-terrorism unit called "Section 9". Batou is her right-hand man. The team also includes Aramaki, Togusa, Borma, Saito, Ishikawa and Ladriya.
Section 9 is searching for a cyberterrorist who is targeting Hanka Robotics. After a confrontation with mercenaries who were "body-jacked" to attack Hanka Robotics executives, Section 9 follows leads to a nightclub, where Batou loses his eyes in a firefight and replaces them with cybernetic implants.
The cyberterrorist body-jacks a garbage truck driver to attack Dr. Ouelet and she dies. The Major catches the driver and manages to follow the signal to the terrorist's underground lair, but is ambushed by a spider-like robot and captured.
The Major learns that he is Hideo Kuze, a survivor from an early experiment by Dr. Ouelet to extensively rebuilt a human body with robotic parts rather than put a human brain in a robotic body. He was deemed a failure and was to be terminated, but escaped and wants revenge.
Kuze reveals that Hanka Robotics is connected to the attack that injured them both. The culprint is Cutter, the leader of rival unit Section 6, who then orders Section 9 terminated to cover up his crimes. Section 9 fights off Section 6 assassins and decides to help the Major take him down.
Kuze also attacks Hanka Robotics and ends up sacrificing himself to kill Cutter. The Major is severely damaged but rescued by Batou and repaired. Hanka Robotics' role in the attack is exposed and they face bankruptcy. Section 9 is disbanded. The Major finds out "Mira" was a false identity and that her real name is Motoko Kusanagi.
The Major is left contemplating her role in the world, with Batou vowing to be there to help her.
Eeeeeh I'm okay with most of this from a live-action adaptation perspective.
Probably not, but someone posted some making-of spoilers that showed she was in fact originally a young Asian women put into her current shell.
Adam Howard

That's interesting, are there any scientific fiction works that explores transracialism?
Caleb Sullivan
b-but it's what's on the inside that counts
Henry Taylor
You know, if you only read the middle four lines it's not that bad.
Shame about the other half though.

>everyone is hating death note live action >people think GITS live action will be cool
i don't get the collective mind of internet
Kevin Miller
Wait a minute, wasn't this just a remake of the animated movie? What's all this crap?
Xavier Bailey
It's just a remix of all the GITS related adaptations (also pure trash)
Ayden Taylor
New character. Bomb expert.
Andrew Brown
Death Note turns a supporting white character black. Internet goes into meltdown. GitS turns the Asian hero white. Internet says no big deal. Really makes you think desu.
Eli Watson
The major was a damn sex bot. Puppetmaster having her exact body but blonde should be enough to show it was a white gynoid
Aiden Rivera
I don't care about the race thing desu what angers me is how they disrespect the animation medium, just like the new "the beauty and the beast"
Gavin Adams
This would have validity if there was actual creativity here.
This is just a generic post-millennium Hollywood sci-fi plot packaged with the trappings and name of Ghost in the Shell.
Adam Long
so basically fucking modern hentai female robocop
Bentley Cruz
>80898352 Does the soul have an intrinsec asianess? Can an asian being asian if its body has been fabricated in Canada? Do japanese people have souls?
Gabriel Rogers
So it's a weird amalgamation of every GITS story with iconic scenes taken out of context and wrapped up in the most generic possible revenge plotline.
