From the The Gundam Wiki, the ultimate guide to Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (機動戦士ガンダム 逆襲のシャア/Kidō Senshi Gandamu: Gyakushū no Shā; Mobile Suit Gundam: The Counterattacking Char) is an anime movie set in the primary Universal Century timeline of Gundam, taking place in UC 0093.
Making its theatrical debut on March 12, 1988, Char's Counterattack is the final culmination of the original saga begun in Mobile Suit Gundam and continued through Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, marking the final conflict of the fourteen year rivalry between Char Aznable and Amuro Ray, and the end of the EF/Zeon conflicts. The movie is based on the novel by Yoshiyuki Tomino.
In addition to being the first original Gundam theatrical release, Char's Counterattack was also the first Gundam production to make use of computer graphics during a five-second shot of a colony rotating serenely in space. Char's Counterattack made it's American debut on January 4, 2003 at 11 p.m. on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

Story
The year is U.C. 0093. Char Aznable re-appears out of self imposed hiding with a declaration that he now commands his own Neo-Zeon movement. Unlike movements of the past, Char intends to force the emigration of Earth's inhabitants to space by bringing about an ice age. The Federation tasks the elite Londo Bell unit to contain the threat before Char can carry out his plan. With time running out on both sides, its up to Amuro Ray and his RX-93 Nu Gundam to prevent the Axis Asteroid Drop Operation.
