Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) is an animated epic directed by Hayao Miyazaki, based on his own manga of the same name. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the film follows Nausicaä, a young princess and environmentalist who leads the people of the Valley of the Wind, a small, peaceful community surrounded by a toxic, mutant forest known as the "Sea of Decay." As the valley faces threats from warring kingdoms and the encroaching spread of the toxic ecosystem, Nausicaä becomes a reluctant heroine, striving to find a way to heal the Earth and prevent further destruction. The film explores themes of environmentalism, war, and the delicate balance between humanity and nature. Known for its stunning animation, complex characters, and deep ecological message, *Nausicaä* is widely considered one of Miyazaki's masterpieces and a cornerstone in the development of Studio Ghibli.
