Its sole survivor, Princess Lastelle of Pejite, pleads with Nausicaä to destroy the cargo and dies. One day at dawn, a massive cargo aircraft from the kingdom of Tolmekia crashes in the Valley despite Nausicaä's attempt to save it. She hopes to understand the jungle and find a way for it and humans to co-exist. Nausicaä, the 16-year-old princess of the Valley of the Wind, explores the jungle and communicates with its creatures, including the gigantic, trilobite-like armored Ohm. In the kingdom of the Valley of the Wind, a prophecy predicts a saviour 'clothed in blue robe, descending onto a golden field'. One thousand years have passed since the Seven Days of Fire, an apocalyptic war that destroyed civilization and created the vast Toxic Jungle, a poisonous forest swarming with giant mutant insects. It is the highest ranked Japanese anime in a survey published by the Japan's Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2007.

The film received critical acclaim, with praise being directed at the story, themes, characters and animation. Though it was made before Studio Ghibli was founded, it is often considered a Ghibli work, and was released as part of the Studio Ghibli Collection DVD and Blu-ray range. The Manson cut was derided by Miyazaki and eventually replaced in circulation by an uncut, redubbed version produced by Walt Disney Pictures in 2005. A heavily edited adaptation of the film created by Manson International, Warriors of the Wind, was released in the United States and other markets throughout the mid-to-late 1980s. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind was released in Japan on 11 March 1984. She becomes embroiled in a struggle with Tolmekia, a kingdom that tries to use an ancient weapon to eradicate a jungle full of giant mutant insects. Taking place in a post-nuclear futuristic world, the film tells the story of Nausicaä (Shimamoto), the young teenage princess of the Valley of the Wind. The film stars the voices of Sumi Shimamoto, Gorō Naya, Yōji Matsuda, Yoshiko Sakakibara and Iemasa Kayumi.

Joe Hisaishi, in his first collaboration with Miyazaki, composed the score. It was animated by Topcraft for Tokuma Shoten and Hakuhodo, and distributed by Toei Company.
