Young Mancunian Ray Steam's late father and grandfather created an inexhaustible power source that can be harnessed within a small sphere. Soon, Ray finds himself at the center of a war between Great Britain and the United States over the use of this tool as a devastating weapon. Steamboy has to save London from Dickensian cyborgs, proto-warplanes and, most importantly, Steam Tower, an enormous monument that has the power to destroy.

This film took eight years to make and used 180,000 individual drawings. Although the film began production in 1995, financial difficulties caused it to be put on hold in 1998. Production I.G and Sunrise then became involved and revived the production.

Steamboy set a new record (about $20 million) for the most expensive Japanese animated film.
