The 1979 animated action comedy adventure from co-written and directed by legendary Hayao Miyazaki, based on best selling manga series Lupin III by Monkey Punch.
Master thief Lupin III a.k.a. “The Wolf” and his right-hand gunman Jigen are hot on the trail of a counterfeiter who swindled them out of a big score. When their search leads them to the secluded European country of Cagliostro, they find far more than they bargained for, including a bride-to-be in peril. Lupin must penetrate the defenses of the Count’s fortress, rescue the girl, break-up a counterfeiting scheme, and escape with the hidden treasure of the Castle of Cagliostro!
"'The Castle of Cagliostro' is a must-see." - Los Angeles Times
"This caper film possesses Miyazaki's usual good-hearted charm, but he injects a manically energetic humor that his more sedate children's films never quite achieve." - AV Club
