Taniguchi was appointed captain of the weak Sumiya Junior High School baseball team, and with his natural fighting spirit, he helped the team grow to the point where they advanced to the regional qualifiers. This theatrical film version, released after the two TV specials, depicts the great progress of Sumiya Junior High School during the Taniguchi era.
Unfortunately the movie Captain: The Movie is not yet available on HBO Max.
