Child prodigy Hiroki Sawada is introduced by a TV program running in the background, while Hiroki himself is working on a computer. The program host explains that by the age of ten, he is already a MIT graduate school student and has developed a DNA Tracker software and is now in the final stage of his second major project, an artificial brain dubbed Noah's Ark. The program host goes on to explain that Hiroki has been under the guardianship of Thomas Schindler, owner of the software giant Schindler, Inc., since his mother died, and that he has been put under a rigorous study program and has had a somewhat deprived childhood. After turning the TV off, Hiroki finishes Noah's Ark, and sends the software through the telephone lines, which causes his computer to show the message "Noah's Ark Sailed Out", simultaneously triggering an alarm in the guardroom. The security guard calls Thomas Schindler and both try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally break into Hiroki's room, they find that Hiroki is not in the room. Schindler finds Hiroki's shoes on the balcony; He jumped from the top of the building to his death.

Two years later, at the Beika City Hall, Schindler, Inc. holds a demonstration of a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many kids, including the Detective Boys, are invited to the demonstration. However, only the kids with badges are chosen for the demonstration. Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo arrive at the City Hall. Agasa gives Conan Edogawa a badge and tells Conan that his mother, Yukiko Kudo, would not be there because of an alumni reunion. The rest of Detective Boys trick a few kids by exchanging badges for the Premium Golden Yaiba Cards. They all use the badges and participate in the demonstration.

Two years later, Schindler Inc. presents its newest product at Beika City hall - a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many children attend the presentation, hoping they are among the lucky ones who are allowed to test Cocoon for the first time. To be included among the first players, the children have to obtain a special badge that was quite expensive. Conan, Ayumi, Genta, Ai and Mitsuhiko watch the crowd sadly, realising none of them could afford to pay for it, when Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo join them. Agasa hands Conan a badge and says it was paid for for his parents and that his mother Yukiko could not join them because she has a class reunion.

When the demonstration begins, Hiroki's artificial intelligence system, Noah's Ark takes control of the game system Cocoon. When two of the parents try to get the children out, the parents get shocked by a sudden burst of electricity. Noah's Ark then warns the audience that if all fifty kids in the demonstration lose the game, it will kill the kids with a large electromagnetic burst.

Among great interest from the audience, Cocoon is turned on and the children are instructed to sit into special chairs fitted with virtual reality glasses. Thomas Schindler explains that participants in Cocoon are put into a trance-like state to fully immerse themselves in the game. Suddenly, the system comes alive and a computer-generated voice explains that it is "Noah's ark" and has taken control of the program to "reset Japan". Most of the children participating in the game come from wealthy and influential families and Noah's Ark explains that it is challenging that status quo. Two parents try to get their children out of the chairs but a sudden burst of electricity shocks them as they try to open the cover of the seats. Noah's Ark further explains that it has modified the virtual games so they are more challenging and the children have to play them. If all children fail, the artificial intelligence will kill them with an electromagnetic burst, but they are allowed to leave if one child wins their game.

Situation

A TV program introduces Hiroki Sawada, a ten-year old computer prodigy. The reporter explains that Hiroki is already in graduate school at MIT. He has developed a DNA-tracker software and is now about to complete his second major project, an artificial mind called Noah's Ark. Since Hiroki's mother died, he has been looked after by Thomas Schindler, CEO of Schindler Inc., an influential software company. Schindler recognised Hiroki's enormous talent and encouraged him to develop it further, putting him under a rigorous study program with little free time or time to be a child.

Hiroki, who has been watching the program about himself, turns his TV off and goes back to his computer, putting the finishing touches on Noah's Ark. Once he is satisfied, he sends the artificial intelligence on his way and his computer shows the message "Noah's Ark sailed away", which also triggers an alarm in the building he is working in. A security guard notices the alarm and calls Thomas Schindler. Together, they try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally manage to open the door, Hiroki is nowhere to be found. Dismayed, Schindler sees Hiroki's shoes on the balcony and has to conclude the inevitable - Hiroki committed suicide by jumping off the balcony.

    Trivia

    • This is the last Detective Conan movie to be made using traditional animation.
    • Currently, this is the final movie to be dubbed in english by Funimation Entertainment. No new movies have been announced thus far, though another dubbing company has since done an English dub of Zero the Enforcer.
    • This movie is notable for having a screenplay written by a famous Japanese screenwriter and mystery novelist Hisashi Nozawa. Kazunari Kochi had written all previous movies and most of the later movies up until Dimensional Sniper.
    • Hiroki Sawada is possibly modeled after Doctor Zell, a former Nazi officer and mad experimental scientist in episode 50-51 of the anime Lupin III: Part II, a source of inspiration for Detective Conan. Indeed, before death, Zell uploaded his mind into a computer and created an artificial intelligence system.
    • Thomas Schindler's limousine is a silver Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
    • Yusaku Kudo and Professor Agasa's limousine is dark blue Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
    • The date in London is declared to be September 30, 1888 which is a Sunday, yet Moriarty says that the following day is to be Sunday.
    • Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are said to be away on business at Dartmoor in reference to The Hound of the Baskervilles case, however this case did not take place until a year later in 1889.
    • Noah's Ark may be a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Ultron from Marvel Comics, who is shown as backing himself up and traveling through the internet to create chaos.
    • This is the first movie to use a virtual reality game as the main setting.
    • Conan plays Pac-Man in the last scene.
    • The gun picked up by Genta at Sherlock Holmes' house is a Tranter 54-bore self-cocking revolver.
    • This is the first movie where Conan's gadgets are primarily absent, as in the game, they are converted to a normal accessories, rendering them useless. The next movie where Conan is unable to utilize them is The Fist of Blue Sapphire, though he gains them back later on.
    • Gin and Vodka make appearances in the introduction sequence of the movie as always, but are also featured in a cameo where Yukiko and Yusaku Kudo are disguised as the pair cornering Conan in an alley way.
    • Yukiko, aside from appearing in the introduction sequence and her in game portrayal of Irene Adler, is absent in the film itself, with Agasa explaining to Conan that she had a high school reunion, and was unable to attend, meaning that she technically hasn't appeared in the movie herselves.
    • This is the only movie where either of Shinichi's parents are directly involved with the storyline. Yusaku make a cameos appearance in The Fourteenth Target and the two appear in the introduction sequences for Countdown to Heaven and Crossroad in the Ancient Capital, but not in the movie themselves, though Yusaku is mentioned later on in Countdown to Heaven
    • The version of the main theme used in the film is a slightly modified version of the one from Countdown to Heaven and would again later be reused and modified again for Strategy Above the Depths.
