Renowned manga author Leiji Matsumoto's greatest creation, Captain Harlock, comes to the big screen in this magnificent film. Set against the conquest of Earth by an alien empire and drawing parallels to the postwar occupation of Japan, Captain Harlock, together with those who will become his lifelong friends, battle against the no matter what the cost. As they fight the evil Ilumidus Empire, the message of the film shine through: that one must stand up for one's beliefs, weven when everyone else believes that slavery and suffering are preferable to the sharper pains endured by those who fight for freedom.
