The story starts from an orphan girl named Sheeta who has a mysterious stone. She fell from a plane after being kidnapped, and mysteriously the stone make her flying. Pazu, an orphan boy from a small mining town, saw her and took her to his house.
In his house, Sheeta saw a photo captured by Pazu's belated father, which was Laputa, a floating island.
However, the kidnapper was still going after Sheeta. They were after the mysterious stone which Sheeta had, and Pazu helped Sheeta to run from the chaser. Later, Sheeta told Pazu that her full name contained 'Laputa' which means Sheeta was one of the Laputan. Sheeta was caught by Muska, one of those who chasing the stone.
Pazu tried to save Sheeta with the help of another chaser of the stone, Dola. Dola is a pirate who is after the treasure at Laputa. They successfully saved Sheeta but the stone is dropped somewhere and taken by Muska.
Pazu, Sheeta, and Dola were following Muska who had known the direction to Laputa through the stone, and successfully landed in Laputa. They met a robot in Laputa, which leads them to a big tree with a tomb below it. They found out many robots were not working anymore.
Muska soon landed in Laputa too and tried to activate a weapon mass of destruction which was made by advanced Laputan technology. Sheeta and Pazu worked together to mess up Muska's plan.
After watching this anime, I was more and more impressed with Studio Ghibli. It was a nice story and I barely felt this is an old anime even though it was aired in 1986. Studio Ghibli's film is really everlasting and interesting to watch, even until now. I gave this anime movie 8 out of 10 points.
