More details on IMDB and Wikipedia 

Iron City during 2563 is overpopulated and policed by machines. The population depends on the wastes falling from the wealthy city of Zalem that is located in the sky above.  Part of everyday life are cyborgs, they are based on the concept of human brain and machine body.

The movie begins with machine doctor Christoph Waltz recovering a cyborg's head from the sky city garbage. He attaches the head to his life's work machine body and names the cyborg "Alita" after his late daughter.

Alita turns out to be a success as a build-up child with the only imperfection being the absence of previous memories. However there is something that functions better than planned: Alita demonstrates excellent combat skills.
