Steamboy

In Victorian-era Britain, the industrial revolution is in full swing, fueled by steam-powered machines. James Ray Steam, a young man from a family of renowned inventors, spends his days working in Manchester factories and sneaking away parts for his personal projects. His life takes a sudden turn when he receives a mysterious package from his grandfather-a peculiar metal ball fitted with a valve. His grandfather and father have been working in the United States, leaving Ray puzzled by the gift. But before he can make sense of it, armed men from the O'Hara Foundation break into his home, demanding he surrender the device. Panicked, Ray escapes and races toward the home of his grandfather’s associate, Robert Stephenson, with relentless pursuers close behind. As he struggles to unravel the ball’s secrets and the power it holds, Ray realizes nearly everyone in the British Empire is desperate to take it from him-by force if necessary.
