Anime film produced by Nippon Sunrise and distributed by Shochiku-Fuji, directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino. A theatrical compilation of the 1980 TV series 'Space Runaway Ideon'. Released July 10, 1982 as Part 1, the film re-edits the TV series content, serving as a prelude to the climactic sequel 'Be Invoked'. The grand space opera depicts the conflict between humanity, who possess the unearthed giant robot Ideon, and the Buff Clan, with Koichi Sugiyama's symphonic score adding depth to its tragic tone.
