The film is 130 minutes in length and is the first on a 3-part theatrical film remake of the first 2 seasons of the parent anime. It was released in Australia on February 15, 2018 by Madman. The second 'Code Geass' compilation film released on February 10, 2018.

The original 'Code Geass' anime was made by Sunrise and ran for a total of 50 episodes, with its first season airing from Oct 6, 2006 to Jul 29, 2007 and the second season airing from Apr 6, 2008 to Sep 28, 2008. Here's the synopsis from MAL:

In the year 2010, the Holy Empire of Britannia is establishing itself as a dominant military nation, starting with the conquest of Japan. Renamed to Area 11 after its swift defeat, Japan has seen significant resistance against these tyrants in an attempt to regain independence.

Lelouch Lamperouge, exiled prince of Britannia, unfortunately finds himself caught in a crossfire between the two nations' armed forces. He is able to escape, however, thanks to the timely appearance of a mysterious girl named C.C., who bestows upon him Geass, the "Power of Kings." Realizing the vast potential of his newfound "power of absolute obedience," Lelouch embarks upon a perilous journey as the masked vigilante known as Zero, leading a merciless onslaught against Britannia in order to get revenge once and for all.
