Daft Punk’s Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is a one-night-only event that brings the celebrated anime to the big screen at over 800 cinemas in 40 countries and territories across the globe on December 12, 2024. Interstella 5555 was remastered in 4K for the release and includes six of Daft Punk’s iconic music videos.

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is described as a spectacular journey through Daft Punk’s album Discovery, which is certified Gold in the US, Platinum in Japan, 2X Platinum in the UK, and 3X Platinum in France. Originally conceived during the creation of their iconic sophomore album, featuring timeless anthems like “One More Time” and “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” the film offers a deeper narrative to the music. This sonic and visual odyssey follows the story of the Crescendolls, an abducted alien band, as they fight against an evil human with a dark plan.

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem was created by legendary French electronic music duo, Daft Punk (Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter) and Cédric Hervet in collaboration with Leiji Matsumoto, Toei Animation and director Kazuhisa Takenouchi. The event features music videos directed by Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, Seb Janiak, Roman Coppola, and Warren Fu. The global event is presented by Trafalgar Releasing.

The story of the film centers on four talented alien musicians that are kidnapped by a record producer who disguises them as humans. The unscrupulous producer has them reprogrammed to forget their real identities and play soulless corporate pop as The Crescendolls.
