In the distant future, the war between the human race and the Gamilon has taken its toll on the planet Earth. Constant bombardment of radioactive asteroids has rendered the planet's atmosphere uninhabitable. As a means of relief aid, Queen Starsha of the planet Iscandar offers the Earth Forces a device that can completely neutalize the radiation off the planet. For this task, the space battleship Yamato is launched from the remains of its World War II ancestor on a 148,000 light-year journey. However, the crew of the Yamato has only one Earth year to travel to Iscandar and back, or the human race will come to an end.

Where it came from
The 1977 Space Battleship Yamato film was released as a cinematic condensation of the original 1974 television series, which was created by Yoshinobu Nishizaki and legendary manga artist Leiji Matsumoto. Coming out of the mid-1970s, the project was part of a burgeoning movement in Japanese animation that aimed to elevate the medium through complex, serialized storytelling and mature themes. The design work, particularly the iconic, elongated silhouette of the Yamato itself, reflected Matsumoto’s signature aesthetic of blending nautical aesthetics with speculative space-age technology.
The film was produced in response to the immense, albeit late-blooming, popularity of the television series, which had initially struggled with low ratings before finding a dedicated cult following. The edit was intended to introduce a wider audience to the crew's voyage to Iscandar and served as a test case for the commercial viability of theatrical anime. Upon its release, the film was a significant success, proving that animated television properties could successfully transition to the big screen and helping to pave the way for the golden age of anime film production in the late 1970s and 1980s.
