action
Titans appeared on Earth one day and ate the people. The pushed back humanity therefore hid behind three high ring-shaped walls. After people have thought they are safe for a hundred years, a colossal titan suddenly appears and breaches the outermost walls. Titans pour into the city and devour the people in it. The young Eren Jäger has to watch helplessly as his girlfriend Mikasa is apparently being eaten. After a leap in time of two years, Eren volunteers with a raiding party that is supposed to dare to advance from the security of the second wall to seal the breach. The raiding party is under the command of Shikishima whose legendary right-hand man turns out to be Mikasa. The raiding party is severely weakened by repeated and sustained attacks by titans. When the few survivors are pressed harder and harder, the seriously injured Eren saves his friend Armin and is swallowed alive. Mikasa is badly affected by it, she throws herself on the nearest titans and destroys them. A little later, the titan who swallowed Eren is torn from the inside by another titan. This new titan attacks all other titans in the area and destroys or chases them away. Mikasa, who has since recognized Eren in Titan, saves him by cutting him out of the dissolving Titan body. Eren's injuries have now healed, and his arm and leg (bitten off) have grown back.

Differences to the template
The film deviates in some aspects from the original, the Manga Attack on Titan . So the world in film is more technologically advanced. There are rocket launchers and motorized vehicles in the film, while horses are the most common mode of transport in the manga . While expeditions to the outside world are carried out regularly in the original, the outside world is taboo in the film. In the film, the garrison troops protect the wall from the people on the inside instead of the titans on the outside. The commander in chief is a member of the military police instead of the garrison.
There are also changes to the figures. The new character Shikishima replaces the "strongest soldier in the world", Levi Ackerman . Other new characters are Souda , Hiana , Kubal , Fukushi , Sannagi and Lil .
