Fathom Events has announced that Hayao Miyazaki’s 1979 feature debut Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro is coming to U.S. theaters for the first time ever this September, screening on Thursday, September 14th (English dub) and Tuesday, September 19th (Subtitled).
Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro follows the great thief Arsène Lupin III, who successfully robs a casino – only to discover the money is counterfeit. He heads to the tiny country of Cagliostro, the rumored source of the bills, and attempts to save the runaway Clarisse from Count Cagliostro’s men. Lupin enlists his associates, Jigen and Goemon, and sends his calling to the Count to get Inspector Zenigata, his longtime nemesis, to the castle. After becoming trapped in the dungeon under the castle, Lupin and Zenigata form a pact to escape and foil the Count’s counterfeit operation and save Clarisse from her forced marriage to the Count.
Tickets for Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro are set to go on sale from Friday, August 18th from the official Fathom Events website.
