Synopsis
From the TV series of "Astro Boy," three episodes were selected for theater re-edition, "Robot Rocket" (46th episode), "Earth Defense Troops" (56th episode) and "The Last Day of Earth" (71st episode). Of these three, "Earth Defense Troops" was the only one originally derived from Tezuka Osamu's story "Number 7." Its settings were diverted to the "Astro Boy" series. In this film, the whole scene of "Earth Defense Troops" and a part of "The Last Day of Earth" were reproduced in color for this theater version. (Source: Official site)

Astro Boy: The Brave in Space isnt really a movie. Its 3 episodes from the 1960 Astro Boy edited together for theatres. The Robot Spaceship, Earth Defense Army, and The Last Day of Earth. All 3 relating to space. The first is about a spaceship made entirely of robots. But a piece gets stolen. The second is actually a crossover. Astro teams up with "Number 7". A manga by Astro Boy creator Tezuka Osamu. They fight aliens who have invaded the moon. This episode was supposed to be a pilot for Number 7 which never got an anime. The last is about an alien robot named Beamo whohas a bomb powerful enough to destroy the Earth. But if that wasnt bad enough there is also a huge asteroid heading for Earth. The planet is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Its worth watching if you are a fan of the 60's Astro Boy. Its in black&white with Earth Defense Army being converted to color.
