Case Closed The Movie - The Time Bombed Skyscraper
The Time Bombed Skyscraper(1997) was the first of 10 features based on the long-running seriesCase Closed. The basic premise remains the same: Jimmy Kudo was a famous detective at 17, but thugs gave him a mysterious pill that somehow turned him into a little boy. He changed his name to Conan Edogawa (from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Japanese mystery writer Ranpo Edogawa) and found a home with his former girlfriend Rachel Moore and her half-witted detective father.Time Bombed Skyscraperpits Conan against a serial arsonist and a bomber who threatens to destroy several buildings and a train line in Tokyo. Are there links between the criminals that would escape the eyes of a less extraordinary detective? Handicapped by his pint-sized body, Conan has to pursue the case as best he can, often using Detective Moore and others as stand-ins. The filmmakers stick very close to the TV program and anyone who enjoys the series will enjoy this feature, and vice versa.
