In the twilight of his career, master thief Lupin the Third's latest and greatest caper has hit a snag. What should've been bags of cash from a national casino turns out to be expert counterfeits! Together with his partner-in-crime Jigen, Lupin heads to the remote European nation of Cagliostro to exact revenge. Not everything goes as planned; the two encounter Clarisse, a royal damsel in distress being forced to marry the sinister Count Cagliostro against her will. Saving her won't be easy, however, as Lupin and Jigen -- together with Lupin's unpredictable ex-girlfriend Fujiko and the swordsman Goemon -- must fight their way through a trap-filled castle, a deadly dungeon, and an army of professional assassins! Can Lupin rescue the girl, evade the cuffs of his long-time nemesis Inspector Zenigata, and uncover the secret treasures of The Castle of Cagliostro?

Where it came from
Released in 1979, The Castle of Cagliostro marked the feature film directorial debut of Hayao Miyazaki, who had previously worked on the Lupin III television series. Produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, the film was conceived as a departure from the grittier, more cynical tone of the original manga, opting instead for a swashbuckling adventure that emphasized character heart and intricate action sequences.
Miyazaki designed the film’s visual language to contrast the grounded, European-inspired architecture of the Cagliostro principality with the energetic, expressive movements of Lupin and his cohorts. While the film initially saw a modest reception at the Japanese box office, it gradually earned a reputation as a masterpiece of animation, eventually becoming one of the most influential works in the medium and a cornerstone of the Lupin III franchise.
