A Certain Magical Index: The Movie – The Miracle of Endymion (劇場版 とある魔術の禁書目録 エンデュミオンの奇蹟 Gekijōban Toaru Majutsu no Indekkusu: Endyumion no Kiseki?) is a 2013 Japanese animated fantasy action film based on the A Certain Magical Index light novels by Kazuma Kamachi. It was directed by Hiroshi Nishikiori and written by Hiroyuki Yoshino. The film's story focuses on a threat against the once peaceful Academy City that could lead to its destruction.
The Spaceplane Orion crash lands without any reported casualties amongs its 88 passengers, being reported as a miracle. Three years later, shortly after the Remnant incident, as Academy City nears completion of the Space Elevator, Endymion capable of bringing people into space without the need for spacecraft, Tōma Kamijō and his friend Index meet a singer named Arisa Meigo, who is also a Level 0. While hanging out with them, Arisa learns she has passed an audition to be the campaign girl for Endymion. Later that night, they are suddenly attacked by Marie Spearhead, Mallybath Blackball and Jane Elves, a group of magicians led by Stiyl Magnus. After Arisa dispels Stiyl's flames to rescue Tōma, a group of mechanicals robots known as the Black Crow Unit led by Shoutaura Sequenzia arrive to fight against Stiyl and his allies, forcing them to retreat with assistance from Stiyl's partner Kaori Kanzaki, leaving Tōma with a cryptic message that Arisa could bring about a war between the magic and science sides.
Shoutaura warns Tōma not to get involved with Arisa. Tōma and Index later offer to let Arisa stay with them in his dorm until her performance. With Tōma forced to take supplementary lessons, Mikoto Misaka and her friends accompany Arisa to a promotional performance at a shopping mall, where they are made into backup dancers. During the performance, Tōma witnesses a battle between Shoutaura and a mysterious male automaton who destroys the stage. Escaping the performance, Tōma learns from Shoutaura that she is unable to process music and does not believe in miracles. Later that night, Arisa explains to Tōma how she has no memories from before the past three years. While Tōma meets up with his classmate Motoharu Tsuchimikado and Kaori, who believes Arisa is possibly a Saint, Stiyl and his group kidnap Arisa, battling Shoutaura and the Black Crow Unit as they try to escape. As Tōma arrives, Stiyl explains that Endymion is actually a makeshift Tower of Babel which, if combined with the power of a Saint, could be turned into a magical device. Shoutaura takes Arisa and retreats, bringing her to the Orbit Portal Company's president, Ladylee Tangleroad.
