Find the one and only truth when Japan’s famous genius detective finally makes his long-awaited UK debut with his biggest case yet. 2024’s highest grossing film in Japan, with 6 consecutive weeks at No.1 and over 10.8 million tickets sold, Trinity CineAsia are excited to announce that the action-packed anime crime caper DETECTIVE CONAN: THE MILLION-DOLLAR PENTAGRAM is releasing exclusively in cinemas from Friday 27th September,  marking the first time that the popular franchise has been released in cinemas across the UK and Ireland!

The latest standalone feature film starring the prodigal private eye, DETECTIVE CONAN: THE MILLION-DOLLAR PENTAGRAM is an exciting mystery adventure that will finally uncover the truth behind Kid the Phantom Thief, the fan-favourite rival of Detective Conan. When Kid lays claim to a sword that once belonged to a famous member of the Shinsengumi, the jewel thief’s sudden interest in historical artefacts grabs the attention of Conan, throwing them both into a thrilling melting pot of murder, unsolved mysteries from the Edo period, and a weapon that could change the course of war. In the North among the cherry blossoms, the exciting hunt for treasure begins!

Often referred to as “a modern day Sherlock Holmes”, Gosho Aoyama’s original manga DETECTIVE CONAN (also known as CASE CLOSED) draws inspiration from the world’s greatest mystery writers like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edogawa Ranpo. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the series has carved its own legacy as one of the highest-selling manga series of all time, with over 270 million copies in print.  The story of Shinichi Kudō, a genius high school detective who takes on name “Conan Edogawa” when his body is shrunk down to child size after getting caught up with a mysterious criminal organisation, DETECTIVE CONAN has become one of Japan’s most recognisable pop culture icons, with a multimedia franchise including an anime with over 1,100 episodes broadcast in over 40 countries, multiple record-breaking feature films, video games, and a recent partnership with the National Gallery in London for an exclusive merchandise campaign.

Shinichi Kudo was a brilliant high school detective until one day he was turned into a child by the mysterious Black Organization. Taking on a new identity as Conan Edogawa to protect those close to him, Conan now pursues the Black Organization in hopes of finding the cure to bring him back to his teenage self.

When a calling card belonging to the legendary Kid the Phantom Thief is found in a warehouse belonging to an illustrious family in Hokkaido, Conan’s interest is piqued: why has a great thief well-known for his pursuit of precious gems set his eyes on swords dating back to the great Edo period? Meanwhile, the discovery of a body with a cross slashed across its chest leads to the “Merchant of Death”, an arms dealer who has his eyes set on an even greater treasure. With Conan and his fellow detective Heiji Hattori both hot on his trail, the exciting battle for treasure begins!
