Film Synopsis
Twenty years
have passed since the end of the First World War and the Adriatic Sea has seen
an increase in airborne pirates. To make ends meet, a veteran Italian fighter ace has been spreading fear in the minds of any would be marauder. His name is
Marco Pagot (voiced by Shuichiro Moriyama) and a strange curse has tuned him into an anthropomorphic pig. Thus he is better known as the one and only Porco
Rosso.
The the pirate gangs have become feed up with Porco’s constant interference.
Since none of their own can even dream of facing him, they contract the highly skilled American pilot, Donald Curtis (voiced by Akio Otsuka), to challenge the legendary airman.
On a trip to repair his plane, Porco runs into Curtis. Due to mechanical problems, Porco isn’t able to fly at his full ability and is easily
brought down. He manages to lose Curtis and makes it to an old friend’s
repair shop.
There Porco meets his friend's granddaughter, Fio (voiced by Akemi Okamura), and is a little apprehensive to have someone so young, and female, fix his plane.
Fio doesn't have any of that and takes up the challenge and easily proves her skills as a
master mechanic.
