A Miyazaki classic returns the way it was meant to be seen!

Experience the debut film of Oscar winner Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, The Boy and The Heron) on the big screen. In honor of its 45th anniversary, the anime classic Lupine III: The Castle of Cagliostro has been restored in 4K. In the twilight of his career, master thief Lupine III's last and biggest crack backfires. The banknotes stolen from a national casino turn out to be expert forgeries. Together with his accomplice Jigen, Lupine heads to the remote European country of Cagliostro to take revenge. Not everything goes according to plan, though; the two encounter Clarisse, a princess in distress, who is forced against her will to marry the sinister Count Cagliostro. Saving her won't be easy, as Lupine and Jigen – along with Lupin's unpredictable ex-girlfriend Fujiko and the swordsman Goemon – must fight their way through a castle full of traps, a deadly dungeon and an army of professional assassins. Can Lupine save the girl, avoid the handcuffs of his arch-enemy Inspector Zenigata and reveal the secret treasures of Cagliostro Castle?
