Two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, break the ultimate taboo of alchemy by attempting to resurrect their deceased mother. The failed transmutation costs Edward his left leg and later his left arm, while Alphonse loses his entire body. To save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to bind Alphonse’s soul to a suit of armor. Together, they set out on a journey to find the Philosopher’s Stone, hoping to restore their original bodies.
