Castle in the Sky tells the tale of Pazu, an engineer’s apprentice. One day, he spots a young woman falling, nay floating down from the sky, a mystical pendant holding her aloft. The woman, named Sheeta, seeks the legendary floating castle of Laputa. Together, the two begin a journey like no other toward Laputa, as they seek to solve the mysteries of the crystal. Their adventure is packed with peril, though, as the military strongmen, depraved sky pirates, and even government agents seek to claim the power for themselves.
