10 ans aprés l'incident Deimos qui fut à l'origine de la guerre entre la Terre et sa colonie Mars, James Links est un routard de l'espace bientôt quinquagénaire et désespéré de voir sa vie familiale partir en lambeaux : depuis que sa femme l'a quitté sans même lui dire pourquoi, ses liens paternels avec ses enfants s'effilochent toujours plus chaque jour et il noie son chagrin dans l'alcool...
Un jour, un commanditaire anonyme lui confie une cargaison mystérieuse qui s'avére être une orbital frame ( mecharobot) extrémement performante et dotée d'une I.A. de conception révolutionnaire nommée Dolorés par-dessus le marché. Pour couronner le tout, non seulement elle a un sacré caractére mais en plus elle appelle James "tonton" !!!
Comme si le mystére n'était pas assez épais comme ça, l'inspecteur des douanes terriennes se retrouve assassiné par un de ses propres hommes à bord du vaisseau-cargo de James qui se retrouve ainsi accusé du meurtre... Commence alors une folle course-poursuite dans l'espace au cours de laquelle James tentera tant bien que mal de reconstruire sa famille tout en essayant de déjouer un plan machiavélique pour anéantir le fragile équilibre de la paix dans le Systéme Solaire

James Links est impatient de retourner vers la Terre pour retrouver ses enfants Leon et Noel Links. Dans ses marchandises se trouve Dolores, une IA d'origine inconnue. Mais quand des inspecteurs sont assassinés à bord de son vaisseau, James est aussitôt désigné comme coupable et pourchassé par les forces de l'ordre.

Sa fille et son fils, Noël et Léon, sont aussi poursuivis pour leur lien de parenté. S'en suit une folle course-poursuite entre la famille Links et les autorités. Dolores ne doit pas tomber entre de mauvaises main, car elle détient une partie du mystère sur la femme de James, le docteur Rachel Links.

          Zone of the Enders 2167: Idolo (2002)

Japon, OAV, ADV Films, 73  mn.

Nous sommes en 2167. L'espèce humaine domine l'espace et dispose de Mars comme colonie terrestre. La tension presque palpable entre cette planéte et la Terre oblige les Nations Unies à diriger la colonie d'une poigne de fer.
Afin d'obtenir l'indépendance de la planète, des scientifiques martiens construisent en secret un prototype de mecha, véritable armée à lui seul : I Dolo. Les tests en sont confiés à deux pilotes martiens : Ladam Lavans et Viola Giani. Ceux-ci vont alors découvrir que ce prototype est créé presque entièrement à partir de Métatron, un métal dont on connait mal l'influence sur la machine et son pilote.
Après un début difficile, Ladam va parfaitement s'acclimater au pilotage de l'appareil au fur et à mesure de ses entraînements. Pourtant, une certaine dépendance va se créer entre lui et le mecha...

2167 AD. Deep in a hidden laboratory, the Martians are testing new weapons technology that's going to blow Earth away! Hotshot pilot Lieutenant Radium Lavans is taking charge of this program to lead the fight against Earth's oppressive rule-or is the program taking charge of him? The mineral Metatron that powers the Idolo weapon has a mind of its own! With the Earthling UNSF working to crush a possible Martian uprising, Radium's Orbital Flame project development team has no time to lose. Will Radium be able to force the Idolo beta unit to choose a noble destiny, or will the power of Metatron consume him completely?
