When ten-year-old Arco steals a time-traveling flight suit to see dinosaurs, a miscalculation strands him in a climate-ravaged 2075. Stripped of the gemstone powering his suit, Arco allies with an imaginative girl named Iris to evade tracking siblings and a rigid robotic police force. As a devastating wildfire closes in, their race home becomes a cross-century fight for survival.

Evoking the whimsical wonder of Miyazaki, Ugo Bienvenu’s breathtaking animated debut Arco delivers a rich and imaginative odyssey about friendship, the climate crisis, and the enduring bonds that connect us.
