New Showbiz Analysis

The film sticks to traditional mystery conventions and relies on well-known genre clichés. It emphasizes established character types and a standard procedural structure. While female characters have meaningful roles, the film does not intentionally address multiple aspects of identity. The narrative reinforces traditional social and moral hierarchies without challenging them.

Official Synopsis

Fifteen years ago in a barren stretch of the Pacific, a cruise ship collided with an iceberg and was lost at sea. More than a decade later, Hideto Yashiro—a ship engineer—died in a fatal car accident. The unlikely connection between these events only comes to light on the luxury liner St. Aphrodite during her maiden voyage. Aboard it on a much needed vacation, Kogorou Mouri, his daughter Ran, Conan Edogawa, and the Detective Boys enjoy a trip provided by Sonoko Suzuki's family. But their fun is soon cut short when a game of hide-and-seek leads to Sonoko's disappearance.
