"Strike Witches the Movie" is set in 1939, during a time when mysterious alien creatures called the Neuroi invade Earth, forcing humanity to flee their homes. To combat this threat, a new weapon called the "Striker Unit" is developed, which harnesses magic and amplifies the abilities of young female magic users. These witches come together to form the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, known as the "Strike Witches," who use their enhanced powers to fight off the Neuroi and protect mankind.
