Plot

The film opens in Tokyo's Shiodome district. The stage actress Maki Juri receives an advance notice letter from Kaito Kid announcing that he will steal the Star Sapphire, a ring she calls the "Jewel of Destiny" and wears in her stage production. Kogoro Mouri, hired to protect the gem, deduces from the letter's cipher that Kid will strike during the final performance, and he, Ran, and Conan stake out the theater.1 • 6

Before the curtain rises, a figure presenting himself as Shinichi Kudo appears before Conan and Ran. Conan, who must conceal that he is the real Shinichi, becomes certain that the newcomer is Kid in disguise, yet he cannot reveal this without exposing his own secret; he corners Kid on the rooftop but lets him escape.6 • 2

The next day, Juri invites the group to a party at her villa in Hakodate, and they board a flight from Haneda. Conan notices that the words in Kid's second notice, "Romeo Juliet Victor Bravo," are all phonetic alphabet terms used in aviation radio, and concludes the theft will occur in flight.7 During the flight Juri is poisoned after eating chocolate and dies; Conan's deduction identifies her makeup artist as the killer, avenging a career Juri had ruined.2 Then the two pilots, who had kissed Juri's hand in greeting, collapse from the same poison, leaving the aircraft with no one able to fly it.2

The emergency landing. The stage actor Shinjo, who claims flight experience and is in fact Kid in another disguise, takes the captain's seat and chooses Conan as his co-pilot, and Conan realizes his identity.8 When lightning disables the autopilot and an engine is lost, the plane must land away from Hakodate airport with roughly ten minutes of fuel remaining. Ran takes the controls in place of the injured Kid, and Kid, having slipped out of the aircraft, arranges police cars with flashing lights to mark a runway. The plane lands on the Sakimori wharf in Muroran, and all passengers survive.8 • 9

Production

The film was produced by the "Detective Conan" production committee of Shogakukan, Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation, Nippon Television, Shogakukan Production, Toho, and TMS Entertainment, with animation by TMS (Tokyo Movie).1 • 10 Yamamoto, the director, was also responsible for the television series version, and the scriptwriter Kouchi had written the previous film, Crossroad in the Ancient Capital.2 • 6

The landing site posed a practical problem for the production: the story required a real location where a jumbo jet could touch down, and staff spent about a month and a half searching before settling on the Sakimori wharf in Muroran, which offers the needed runway dimensions.9 The aircraft in the film is depicted as a Boeing 747 of the fictional Sky Japan Airlines, flight 865 from Haneda to Hakodate.3 • 11

Box office

The film earned 2.85 billion yen on 307 screens.4 The Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan's year-end tally for 2004 lists it at 2.80 billion yen, sixth among Japanese films of the year, behind Howl's Moving Castle, Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World, and others.5 A Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism survey of anime film box office for 2003 to 2005 places it seventh in that three-year window at 2.8 billion yen, between two Doraemon films and behind the previous Conan film Crossroad in the Ancient Capital at 3.2 billion yen.12
