Evangelion: 1.11 - You Are (Not) Alone. ( Jap. ヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版ヱ:序 Evangerion Shin-Gekijōban: Jo ., Dt "Evangelion New Theatrical Version: Beginning") is the first film of the series Rebuild of Evangelion to Anime - TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion .

The film summarizes the events of the first six episodes of the television series and shows them in new images. The plot has been changed slightly compared to the series.

action

The 14-year-old student Shinji Ikari comes to Neo Tokyo-3 at the request of his father Gendō. On the way there he finds himself in the middle of the battle of the military against a gigantic creature known as the "fourth angel". Shinji is taken to the headquarters of the secret UN organization NERV, which is run by his father. He is intended as a pilot for the Evangelion unit 01, a humanoid universal combat machine that was specially developed and built for the fight against the angels. After initially refusing, Shinji finally agrees to control EVA-01, but has little to counter the angel. When the fight seems already decided in favor of the attacker, the Evangelion suddenly gets out of control and defeats the angel during his rampage , who then destroys himself.

After the fight, Shinji is accepted by the NERV officer Misato Katsuragi because of the very distant and broken relationship with his father. It is very difficult for him to get used to his new environment; at his new school, Shinji has hardly any contact with his classmates. He is even beaten up by his classmate Tōji Suzuhara, as his little sister was seriously injured in Shinji's fight against the angel.

In the fight against the fifth angel, Shinji disregards an order to retreat and instead attacks the enemy head-on. Although he succeeds in defeating the angel at the last moment, Shinji is confronted and reprimanded for his disobedience by Misato, who is his superior at NERV. He runs away and wanders around aimlessly until he is picked up by the NERV security service and brought back.

During the attack by the sixth angel, Shinji is seriously injured when EVA-01 is bombarded with a particle beam by the enemy. After recovering the damaged Evangelion, NERV developed a plan to fire a prototype of a high-performance positron cannon at the angel, who was slowly working his way to the underground NERV headquarters with a kind of drill. The energy required for this is to be obtained from the entire power grid in Japan. Shinji with EVA-01 is supposed to take over aiming and firing the weapon.

When Shinji refuses to get back into the Evangelion because he is afraid of the possible consequences, Misato takes him to the lowest level of the NERV headquarters and shows him Lilith who is trapped there. She is another angel who could trigger a global catastrophe if contact with one of the attacking angels should come about. In 2000, a similar catastrophe occurred with the so-called Second Impact , which killed half of the world's population . Protecting humanity from a third impact is the task of the Evangelions. With this in mind, Shinji finally agrees to pilot the EVA-01 again. In the second attempt he succeeds in defeating the angel.

Finally, the angel Kaworu Nagisa wakes up on the moon. He speaks to a representative of the secret organization SEELE, which is behind NERV and the Evangelion project, about the contract that the two parties have concluded. Kaworu explains that he is looking forward to meeting Shinji Ikari.
