A new clip from Alita: Battle Angel shows the title character ambushed by deadly cyborgs in a back alley.

With its wide release in theaters everywhere approximately two months away, a new clip from Alita: Battle Angel shows its eponymous cyborg in hard-hitting action in a back alley brawl.

First unveiled at The Game Awards in Los Angeles last night, the scene shows Alita and her caretaker Dr. Ido ambushed by a trio of cyborgs in an alley with Alita quickly turning the tables on her cybernetic attackers.

As Ido is restrained by the hulking Grewishka (Jackie Earle Haley), Alita pummels Zapan (Ed Skrein) into brutal submission before facing Nyssiana (Eiza González).

The second cyborg proves to be a stronger opponent than Zapan, with razor-sharp bladed-limbs that employs with blinding speed against the younger fighter. However, as the melee intensifies, it's clear that Alita can more than hold her own as she takes the fight back to Nyssiana.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez, Alita: Battle Angel adapts Yukito Kishiro's popular manga Battle Angel Alita. It will arrive in theaters on February 14, 2019. The film stars Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earle Haley, Keean Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Lana Condor, and Eiza González.
