TMNT

Several years after their last battle with their nemesis Shredder, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles drift apart as a family unit. Their mentor Splinter grows concerned as cracks appear among them and Gotham style trouble brews in New York City. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael each chase their own paths, causing tensions to rise. When a new menace surfaces, the city faces chaos that only the four brothers can stop together. The film follows their uneasy reunion as they rediscover teamwork, face hidden threats, and step back into the role of heroes while trying to balance loyalty and their own rebellious drives. Yet the film never loses sight of each turtle's voice and the bond they share. Hope fuels them.
