Lara
Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer
who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21
without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of
trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes
college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own
path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just
as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone. Advised to
face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara
can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his
mysterious death.
Going explicitly against his final wishes, she
leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known
destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere
off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just
reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes
couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only
her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to
push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she
survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her,
earning her the name tomb raider.

Yukito Kishiro. The movie combines the first three books, Ido, Alita,
and Hugo.
Set in the 26th century, the story takes place 300 years
after a societal collapse caused by a major war. But in that society,
it's a technological dark age following a pinnacle of achievement far,
far beyond where we are right now. It's a post-apocalyptic world from a
very high level with cyborg technology as just a way of life. People are
augmented a lot as workers and so on, so being a cyborg is not unusual.
The
main character is a cyborg. She has an organic human brain, and she
looks like she's about fourteen years old. She has a completely
artificial body and she's lost her memory - she's found in a wreckage
and she's reconstituted by a cyber-surgeon who becomes her surrogate
father.

expert deep sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a
visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of
his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew – and the ocean
itself – from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark
known as the Megalodon. What no one could have imagined is that, years
before, Taylor had encountered this same terrifying creature. Now,
teamed with Suyin, he must confront his fears and risk his own life to
save everyone trapped below… bringing him face to face once more with
the greatest and largest predator of all time.
