In the first years of the 21st century, a third World War broke out. Those of us who survived knew mankind could never survive a fourth; that our own volatile natures could simply no longer be risked. So we have created a new arm of the law: The Grammaton Cleric, whose sole task it is to seek out and eradicate the true source of man's inhumanity to man - his ability to feel.
The highest level of state enforcers are know as Grammaton Clerics. They are all practioners of a martial art known as the 'Gun Kata'.
Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically-predictable element. The Gun Kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents, while keeping the defender clear of the statistically-traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increased lethal proficiency makes the master of the Gun Katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
Basically, Gun Kata is shooting the enemy as efficiently as possible while avoiding their fire. In summary, Gun Kata is the art of shooting where the enemy should be, while not being where the enemy should shoot.
Christian Bale plays John Preston, the most devout of these men, sworn to protect the state and rout out 'sense offenders' who, if not killed outright during their capture, are sentenced to death in the fires that power the cities.
As a First Class Cleric, Preston is a master of Gun Kata. His own wife was executed for 'sense crimes', leaving him a single father to two children, a boy and girl. But eventually, he begins to question the way things are, and...
