## Where to Watch

- [Crunchyroll](https://www.crunchyroll.com/code-geass)
- [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com/title/81216714)

Crunchyroll and Netflix both carry the film. One important note: it continues from the compilation film trilogy's version of events, which diverges in places from the TV series — a detail worth knowing before you press play.

## Synopsis

The world Lelouch bought with the Zero Requiem — his masterstroke of sacrificial theater — has enjoyed its hard-won peace. But peace is maintenance work: his friends and former enemies now spend their days protecting the order he died to create. When a terrorist plot strikes at the very people carrying his legacy, the question that has haunted the series' fandom takes center stage — can the world's greatest tactician outmaneuver even death itself? The film is both a heist-flavored rescue mission and a meditation on what Lelouch's sacrifice actually meant.
