The film was made in 1980, a time when the threat of nuclear war due to Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, it was becoming more and more real. In the film, the land of Nextworld, divided between "Nation of the Stars" and "Uran Federation" is the metaphor of the tense relationship between the United States and the USSR.
The story tells of nuclear tests that cause genetic mutations in animals, transforming them into a race of mutants called the Fumoon. These beings have psychic powers and an intelligence superior to that of human beings, and have designed an organizational strategy to transfer thousands of animals and a small group of men from planet Earth to another place. This is in order to save them from the large radioactive cloud that approaches the Earth, and which will destroy it in a short time. Meanwhile, the two superpowers in a climate of growing tension are getting closer and closer to a terrifying world war.
The anime film is based on the manga of the same name by Osamu Tezuka, with the difference of the original characters.
