Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind

Experience the film that launched the Academy Award-winning career of Hayao Miyazaki, one of the most celebrated filmmakers in the history of animation!

A thousand years after civilization’s fall, the last pockets of humanity huddle in fear of the Sea of Corruption, a toxic jungle guarded by giant insects. But Princess Nausicaä, of the peaceful Valley of the Wind, sees wonder where others see only a wasteland. With empathy and curiosity, she believes a path to coexist with this strange new world is possible.

Her ideals are shattered when a militaristic empire invades her home, determined to resurrect an ancient weapon and wage all-out war against the jungle. Nausicaä must now stand against a world consumed by hatred, armed only with her glider and a radical belief in the power of understanding. Nausicaä is a timeless, breathtakingly animated fable about a young hero’s fight to save not just her people, but the soul of the planet itself.
