Ghost in the Shell is a dystopian crime story set in 21st-century Japan, in which Maj. Kusanagi is a cybernetically enhanced counter-terrorist operative hunting a dangerous hacker.

But despite the setting and the provenance of the story, most of the roles in Dreamworks' adaptation were given to non-Asian actors.
