【Overview】In 1977, the TV anime "Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes V" was adapted into a live-action film and a full TV series consisting of 90 episodes—an enormous volume—produced in the Philippines, where it enjoys even greater enthusiasm than in Japan. This version is a re-edited "Super Electromagnetic Version" for the Japanese return screening, including new scenes added to the Philippine theatrical release, and is crafted to closely resemble the storyline of the original (TV anime) episodes 1 and 2. The CG quality has also been upgraded.
This film is filled with love and respect from the Philippines for the original work and Japan.

【Story】One day, Earth is attacked by an army led by Prince Zardos from the planet Boazan. Conventional weapons are completely ineffective. Steve, Big Bert, and Little John Armstrong, along with Mark Gordon and Jamie Robinson, secretly pilot five machines that were being manufactured, and challenge the enemy. To ensure victory, the enemy deploys a more powerful beast-type robot called "Beast Fighter."
In response, the five pilots combine their machines with the rallying cry "Let's Volt In!" to form the giant humanoid robot "Voltes V."
Will the Voltes Team be able to protect Earth?
