Porco Rosso

In 1930s Italy, sky pirates attack cruise ships across the Adriatic while a mysterious pig-faced former flying ace hunts them in his seaplane. Preparing to face a daring American rival, the solitary pilot relies on a gifted young mechanic and a longtime friend as political tensions reshape the world around them.
