From the underground comic sensation that became a global phenomenon comes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the action-packed cult classic that brought the heroes in a half shell to the big screen in a gritty, high-energy adventure packed with martial arts mayhem, streetwise humor, and cutting-edge animatronic effects. When four ordinary turtles are transformed by a mysterious ooze, they emerge from the sewers of New York City as Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael: brothers, ninjas, and unlikely defenders of justice. Trained by their wise rat sensei, Splinter, and joined by fearless reporter April O’Neil and hockey-masked vigilante Casey Jones, they face off against the evil Shredder and his Foot Clan in a battle for the soul of the city. Directed by Steve Barron (Electric Dreams) and brought to life by the groundbreaking Jim Henson Creature Shop, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles delivers a perfect fusion of comic-book grit, practical effects wizardry, and pure 90s energy, now restored for the ultimate pizza-powered throwback.
