Ex-Congressional pilot, Mark Curran stumbles across a conspiracy to suppress a discovery that could potentially end the food crisis. Utilizing an advance Mobile Suit, the G-Savior, Curran is thrust into battle against a powerful Congressional force. But can the colonies prevail against such overwhelming odds?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sunrise produced this specifically for Gundam's 20th anniversary, then immediately buried it. The 'G-Savior' suit design was later quietly retconned into the Universal Century timeline through obscure manga.
This represents the only live-action Gundam film to date — a cautionary tale that kept the franchise anime-only for 25+ years. The 2024 Netflix announcement exists partly because this finally fell out of collective memory.
