51. Cowboy Bebop - Knockin' on heaven's door

The mis-matched crew of the Bebop are back, and this time they're on the silver screen in a movie set on Mars.

Just before the Halloween of 2071, a terrorist bomb destroys a tanker truck on Highway One, close to a densely-populated crater city. There are casualties up to half a mile away from the blast - 500 killed or injured by what appears to be a biochemical weapon. The reward for the bomber's capture is a massive 300,000,000 woolongs, and there are four humans and a dog who really need the money. Down on their luck as usual, the crew of the Bebop get on the case.
