Set two years after the final episode of the Fullmetal Alchemist TV series, this film picks up with Edward Elric's attempts to rediscover the alchemical powers that once he had, enabling him to return to his world. Stuck in the parallel realm of Earth, Elric has lost the powers that brought him here, but has taken up the study of rocketry in the hopes of regaining them. He is aided by Alphonse, a young man who bears a striking resemblance to the brother Elric left behind, and who now toils to find a way to join Elric.
