Castle in the Sky

A young girl named Sheeta is kidnapped by a government agent named Muska. While traveling in an airship, Sheeta's abduction is interrupted by a group of air pirates led by Captain Dola who are searching for Sheeta's small blue crystal pendant. During the ensuing chaos, Sheeta falls from the airship but miraculously survives due to the mysterious power of her amulet. She lands in a small mining town where she is found by a brave boy named Pazu. Pazu takes Sheeta home to recover and tells her about a legendary floating island called Laputa, which is shown in a picture taken by his father. As they search for Laputa, Sheeta and Pazu are pursued by Dola's pirates and Muska's soldiers. They eventually discover an abandoned mine where they meet an eccentric old man named Uncle Pomme. Uncle Pomme reveals that Sheeta's amulet is made of a special crystal called volucite, which is the same material used to keep Laputa and other flying cities afloat.
