20th Century Fox has unveiled the first trailer for Alita: Battle Angel, a film adaptation based on the popular Japanese manga/anime series Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro. 

The film follows Alita, a female cyborg who has lost all her memories but is repaired and brought back online by cybermedic expert Dr. Ido. After being rebuilt, she rediscovers one remnant of her past - the legendary cyborg martial art Panzer Kunst, which leads to her becoming a bounty hunter.
