A legendary but mysterious surgeon pushes the boundaries of medical science in a desperate attempt to save the planet from an unbeatable race of "Super-Humans" in this anime based on the popular manga of the same name by legendary author Tezuka Osamu. Although Black Jack doesn't even have a medical license, his brilliant abilities as a surgeon have earned him limitless wealth in addition to a god-like reputation. When all hope is lost, patients call on Black Jack to perform miracles in the operating room -- and he hasn't let one down yet. After a group of all-powerful "Super-Humans" appear at the Olympics and put their human competitors to shame, Black Jack must perform top-secret research in a prestigious laboratory if he is to solve the mystery of the powerful beings and restore hope for the future of humankind. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
