Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo are four mutant turtle brothers who live in a New York sewer with their father and teacher, Splinter. They secretly protect the city while Shredder escapes prison and joins Baxter Stockman, Bebop, and Rocksteady. The villains work with Krang, an alien enemy who plans to open a gateway for an invasion. The film uses loud fights, cartoon jokes, strange creatures, and family teamwork.

The film gives most attention to the brothers and their wish to be accepted as heroes. The turtles argue over whether a chemical could turn them into humans, but their main choice is to stay together and save the city. April O'Neil works as a reporter and joins the rescue, while Casey Jones helps the turtles after starting as a corrections officer. The story returns to secrecy, friendship, brotherhood, and self-acceptance through simple adventure conflicts.
