Minions: The Rise of Gru

Plots: The untold story of one twelve-year-old’s dream to become the world’s greatest supervillain. In the heart of the 1970s, amidst a flurry of feathered hair and flared jeans, Gru (Steve Carell) is growing up in the suburbs. A fanboy of a supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6, Gru hatches a plan to become evil enough to join them. Luckily, he gets some mayhem-making back-up from his loyal followers, the Minions. Together, Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto – a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please – deploy their skills as they and Gru build their first lair, experiment with their first weapons, and pull off their first missions. When the Vicious 6 oust their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles (Alan Arkin), Gru interviews to become their newest member. It doesn’t go well (to say the least), and only gets worse after Gru outsmarts them and suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. On the run, Gru will turn to an unlikely source for guidance, Wild Knuckles, and discover that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. San Francisco, 1976. Bent on becoming the most despicable supervillain on Earth, aspiring mega-criminal Gru is thrilled to discover that his idols, the Vicious Six team of baddies, have an open spot. However, evil is for adults. As 12-year-old Gru summons up the courage to prove his worth, determined to live out his wicked dreams, the brazen theft of the powerful Zodiac Stone and the chance encounter with Vicious Six founder Wild Knuckles set a comic, high-energy adventure in motion. But after the events of Minions (2015), a question arises. Do the fearless, denim-clad followers still have Mini Boss’s back?
