Despicable Me

Description

Gru lives beneath a forbidding suburban house with an army of Minions and a plan to pull off the ultimate crime: stealing the moon. To recover a shrink ray from rival villain Vector, he adopts Margo, Edith and Agnes so their cookie-selling visit can get him inside Vector’s fortress.

The girls begin as tools in Gru’s scheme, but their expectations of a father steadily interfere with his carefully constructed villain persona. With Dr. Nefario and the Minions trying to keep the heist on course, Gru must decide whether criminal recognition matters more than the family forming around him. The 95-minute Illumination feature is currently included with HBO Max.
