Crusher Joe The Movie is an anime film directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko.

The deal went sideways, just like it always does.

Crusher teams are hired for all kinds of reasons, and this latest job seemed easy: take a cryogenically frozen, terminally ill woman from a gang of criminals and transport her within thirty hours to a place where her illness could be treated. Only things go sideways when an unknown effect pulls Joe's ship out of warp, leaving him and his team adrift in space with a United Space Force battleship bearing down on them with accusations of piracy!

What's more, their patient on ice, their payment, and their client are all missing, which leaves the team with nothing to prove their innocence. Someone set them up, and they're not about to let that go! A tip leads the team to Lagol, a planet overrun without laws and bandits. It's a dangerous place, and Joe, Alfin, Ricky,and Talos have only just scratched the surface of a conspiracy that could rip space and time apart.
