Movie
Description
Lupin launches the film by stealing a diamond in a Rio de Janeiro heist, hiding it inside a doll before boarding a flight. When young Julia takes the doll, his pursuit sparks a clash with her chaperone, Fujiko Mine, abruptly halted by a plane hijacking that reveals Lupin's talent for exploiting chaos.
After escaping the hijacking, Lupin pivots to rescuing Julia upon learning she is the daughter of Douglas, a wealthy U.S. presidential candidate. The Nostradamus Sect kidnaps Julia to coerce Douglas out of the election, shifting Lupin's goal from reclaiming his diamond to infiltrating Douglas's skyscraper vault—home to Nostradamus's prophecies, also coveted by the cult. A failed vault breach forces Lupin to recruit Goemon Ishikawa XIII.
To bypass the vault's retinal scanner, Lupin orchestrates his arrest and imprisonment on Execution Island, seeking his uncle Philip—the sole person to previously breach the vault. After the cult murders Philip during a memory-extraction attempt, Lupin uncovers Philip's prosthetic eye and deduces it bypassed the biometric lock, showcasing his analytical ingenuity.
Faking his death in a prison escape, Lupin infiltrates the cult's cathedral compound where Julia is captive and Fujiko is hypnotized. He coordinates with Jigen and Goemon to free Julia, though she is recaptured. The climax unfolds in Douglas's skyscraper: Lupin uses the prosthetic eye to enter the vault, retrieves the prophecies from Julia, and outmaneuvers the cult's enforcer Chris, who detonates explosives.
During the skyscraper's collapse, Lupin safeguards Julia and witnesses Chris and cult leader Rhisley perish. He secures the prophecies, but Julia's doodles render the book worthless, prompting Lupin to destroy it. Julia returns his diamond, fulfilling his original objective despite sacrificing the greater treasure. Throughout, Lupin navigates self-interest with protectiveness toward Julia, demonstrating unwavering team loyalty amid Fujiko's detached pragmatism and unreciprocated romance.
