Amazon is releasing the finale of the Rebuild of Evangelion film series—adaptations of the popular anime Neon Genesis Evangelion by Hideaki Anno—on Prime Video on August 13.

About the films' plots:
EVANGELION:1.11 YOU ARE (NOT) ALONE.
Scarred by the Second Impact, the Fourth Angel attacks Tokyo-3, and the fate of humanity lies in the hands of the special government agency Nerv. Young Shinji Ikari is forced to pilot EVA-01. He and EVA-00 pilot Rei Ayanami are tasked with the battle, but EVA-01 is damaged by the Sixth Angel. Misato Katsuragi devises a plan to channel all of Japan's electricity into EVA-01's positron cannon to defeat the Angel.
EVANGELION:2.22 YOU CAN (NOT) ADVANCE.
Mari Illustrious Makinami pilots the provisional Unit-05 to defeat the unearthed Third Angel. Asuka Langley Shikinami and EVA-02 defeat the Seventh Angel. The Eighth Angel appears and attacks Nerv headquarters. EVA-03 is taken over by the Ninth Angel during testing, and Shinji sets out to stop it but learns that Asuka is onboard. Gendo switches EVA-01's control to the Dummy System and initiates the battle against EVA-03.
EVANGELION:3.33 YOU CAN (NOT) REDO.
Shinji awakens after 14 years aboard the battleship AAA Wunder, which belongs to an anti-Nerv organization founded by former Nerv members. Shinji hears Rei's voice from the EVA Mark.09, sent to rescue him, so he leaves Wunder and heads to Nerv. Kaworu Nagisa shows Shinji the transformed land. He learns that rescuing Rei triggered the Near-Third Impact, which caused the catastrophic damage on Earth.
