Psycho-Pass: The Movie (劇場版 PSYCHO-PASS サイコパス Gekijouban Saiko Pasu) is a feature film based on the anime series. It was released on January 9, 2015, in Japanese theaters and on July 15, 2015 in Blu-ray format. In Japan, like other anime feature films, this work is called Gekijouban Psycho-Pass, gekijouban meaning "theater edition" as opposed to other formats. The term "eiga" is the generic word for the English term "movie", which is typically shorter.
Synopsis
In July 2116, the Southeast Asia Union (SEAUn) (シーアン shiian) and the Japanese government begin to export the Sibyl System to the coastal town of Shambala Float during a civil war as an experiment in spreading the system throughout the world. Under Sibyl's rule, Shambala Float achieves temporary peace and safety, but when SEAUn sends terrorists to Japan, now able to slip through the Sibyl System and attack Japan from within, the shadow of a certain man falls on the incident and Inspector Akane Tsunemori must lead her team to Shambala Float to investigate.
Trivia
- According to the DVD's box and ancient monuments in the film, Shambala Float is a coastal city in modern Cambodia.
- Contrary to what is shown on the poster, Tsunemori never uses the Dominator when she wears the white Inspector's tee.
- More details about the neutralization of the foreigners group by Division 1: Tsunemori enforces Tadao Miyazaki's first (Crime Coefficient: 178.3), Teppei Sugo lethally eliminates the first terrorist (Crime Coefficient: 310), Nobuchika Ginoza eliminates the second one (Crime Coefficient: 326), and the third one is eliminated by Sho Hinakawa. Inspector Mika Shimotsuki lethally enforces the fourth one, the fifth one is injured and knocked senseless by the steering wheel of the terrorists' car when it crashes, and the last one (Samlin) is paralyzed by Tsunemori (Crime Coefficient: 293).
- The decor of Joshu Kasei's office is different from Seasons One and Two.
- While Tsunemori is in Shambala Float, she wears a white Inspector's tee instead of the usual blue jacket because, due to her investigator status, she is neutral; but like the (current) blue helmets, she must be distinguished from others. The tactical number on the garment's sleeve is still 103 with the MWPSB's logo printed on the back.
- When she takes joins Nicholas Wong's anti-rebel operation, Tsunemori wears her holster horizontally on her back.
- During the attack on the guerrilla base, Desmond Rutaganda stops Shinya Kogami's blood flow with his thumb and index finger in order to capture him alive.
Quotes
"At the level of the individual, violence has a detoxifying effect. It takes away the inferiority complexes and changes the contemplative and desperate attitude of native people. [sic] Violence makes them fearless and restores their dignity in their own eyes." [sic] You're not familiar with Frantz Fanon?"
— Desmond Rutaganda to Nicholas Wong
"You'll regret it if you don't kill me now." (Kogami)
- "Terrifying! Unfortunately, we have some important questions to ask you." (Rutaganda)
— Shinya Kogami and Desmond Rutaganda's exchange after Kogami's capture
"One day, this System's true worth will be tested." (Tsunemori)
- "The world under the System is evolving." (screen text)

Trailer
Approximate Translation
Screen Text: A future world where a person's psychological state can be scanned and quantified.
Kasei: A foreign terrorist group illegally entered our nation. And within their memory, we found the image of an Enforcer who took flight three years ago.
Screen Text: There is a Public Safety Bureau division that deals with those who are identified through this quantification.
Kasei: Permission to investigate outside our borders?
Tsunemori: Yes.
Kasei: You personally intend to enter the front?
Tsunemori: I'm prepared for it.
Screen Text: Now the world is the stage.
Kasei: The chief director of the Shambala Float is the Sibyl System.
Wong: I'm Nicholas Wong.
Tsunemori: There's no way a Psycho-Pass obtained under these conditions could give good figures!
Wong: If we don't kill them, they will kill us.
Samlin: Return fire!
Bun: Target Delta identified!
Saiga: Be kept as a pet within this cage called the Sibyl System or fight in the dog-eat-dog world outside the cage. That is something that Makishima Shogo once possessed. And it is what Kogami Shinya used in the process of chasing him down.
Tsunemori: You're under arrest.
