Plot summary
In 2116, Japan is the world's most stable country, kept in order by the Sibyl System, a bio-computer that scans citizens and has replaced the police. The government agrees to export the System for the first time, to the Southeast Asia Union, a neighboring region torn by civil war, where a military government under Chuang Han struggles against rebels. When armed rebels slip into Japan, Inspector Akane Tsunemori's team intercepts them; a captured man's scanned memory shows Shinya Kogami, her former enforcer who vanished three years ago, among the rebel leaders. Tsunemori asks to go alone to Shambala Float, the SEAUn capital where the Sibyl System has already been installed, officially to inspect it, in truth to find and arrest Kogami. In a country where violence is ordinary, a mercenary team is also hunting him.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Psycho-Pass: The Movie (2015)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Because voice recording for the 2015 film started later, the cast feared Shinya Kogami had been killed off-screen; only Kana Hanazawa and Tomokazu Seki had information about the film during its conception, and during Psycho-Pass 2 the recording cast left an empty chair in the studio for Kogami.
- Ling Tosite Sigure's theme song "Who What Who What" had parts changed in January 2015 during a performance because of similarities to a recent terrorist attack: the line "freedom covered in blood" became "imaginary freedom", and a double-edged knife became a double-edged fake.
- Hiroshi Kamiya, who voices Nicholas Wong in the film, originally auditioned for the first Psycho-Pass television series but failed to get a role; Shiotani looked over Kamiya's works when casting him for Wong.
- To make the story more realistic, Shiotani decided the foreigners would speak English rather than Japanese, unlike other films; lead actors Tomokazu Seki (Kogami) and Kana Hanazawa (Tsunemori) were surprised because they had multiple English lines.
- The film was set in another country because the Sibyl System's guns mostly paralyzed enemies rather than killing them, which later led to the idea of a scenario involving mercenaries.
