The year is 2977. Mankind has become complacent and stagnant. All work is done by machines, while humans spend all their time on entertainment. But when a mysterious invader from the stars catches Earth unawares, only the legendary space pirate Captain Harlock and the crew of the Arcadia have the will to stand against them.

Harlock and his crew go for their triumphant return to Earth. All that awaits them is an order that they’ve been banished from Earth. Harlock pleads to the Prime Minister to pardon them and to disband as pirates.
