When young mining apprentice Pazu catches a girl descending gently from the heavens, he is swept into an exhilarating race across the clouds. The girl, Sheeta, carries a glowing crystal pendant coveted by ruthless military agents and a boisterous crew of air pirates. United against impossible odds, the pair take flight in search of Laputa, a mythical floating city lost inside a colossal tempest, guarding forgotten technology and perilous power.
