Mitch Hurwitch is Writing the Arrested Development Movie Right Now

"Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz has revealed to Rolling Stone that he is currently writing the movie and hopes to make another season as well.

"I'm working on the movie right now," he said. "I can't get into much more detail because I don't want to scare anybody off. I don't want to be presumptuous about it. I don't own the property outright it's a 20th Century Fox property. But everybody seems really into it and really eager to make a movie."

He added that the biggest challenge of filming the fourth season last year was working around the schedules of the large cast. "A TV season is a six-month commitment. But I think it would be very doable to get them together for four or five weeks to make a movie."

Although the movie has yet to receive the green light, Hurwitz hopes to make the film and season five as well.

"The whole thing is sort of unprecedented," he said. "It's always been its own little thing. I kind of feel like the more it stays original, the better chance it has. As soon as it goes back to trying to do exactly what it was before, you run the risk of doing a reunion show or something."

First Look at the Poster for Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa

MTV has released a first look at the poster for Paramount Pictures' Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, hitting theaters on October 25.

In the comedy, 86-year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companions, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy. The signature Jackass character Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicholl) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera.

Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens. Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.

The World's End Movie Review

Story: While best friends in high school, Gary, Andy, Oliver, Peter and Steven spent one night doing a pub crawl of 12 local pubs on the "Miracle Mile" of their small town of Newton Haven�they never finished it. 20 years later, Gary King (Simon Pegg) wants them to reunite to complete the crawl they gave up on as kids. Unfortunately, all his friends are now mature adults with wives and families and jobs and they want nothing to with Gary's quest, but he convinces them to reunite with a lie with his former best friend Andrew (Nick Frost) still angry about an incident that happened which drove a wedge in their friendship.

Analysis:
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright have created quite a cottage market of British comedy for themselves with the show "Spaced" and two wildly-acclaimed movies in "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz." The question going into "The World's End"--an idea they've had since the "Hot Fuzz" days--is whether after six years, the trio are able to recreate the magic of their earlier movies, especially having moved onto other things in between their collaborations. Fortunately, they have a great premise that fits in with the themes of the other two movies, essentially everyday people dealing with other-worldly occurrences and they've surrounded the proven pairing of Pegg and Frost with another solid British cast.

While "Shaun" played with the archetypes of George Romero zombie movies and "Hot Fuzz" did the same for Michael Bay buddy cop movies, "The World's End" is really its own thing, though it does feel more like an ensemble piece than those movies with Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Paddy Considine being as big a part of the story as Pegg and Frost. Essentially, the film opens with Gary in an AA meeting telling the story of the pub crawl and being convinced that finishing it might offer the closure he needs, so he revisits all his old friends, all of whom are happy and successful in their lives. Somehow he manages to convince them to begrudgingly return to Newton Haven where all but Andy--now sober for 16 years--try to humor Gary. Things only really start moving about thirty minutes in when the friends realize there's something wrong with the townspeople - something we won't go into too much detail about though it does offer some fun creatures that wouldn't have been out of place in '70s era "Doctor Who."

Gary King is the only one of the friends who hasn't really grown up or changed since the friends were last together, still living in the past with the same car he drove back then. He's actually a great character for Pegg to play, not too far removed from Shaun or other characters but just different enough from some of the other things he's done, both with Wright and without, to make him just the right fit. Frost plays it so straight-laced for most of the movie, bringing a lot of the drama to the story as he is still smarting from an incident decades earlier where a drugged-out Gary rolled a car putting him in the hospital for months. Frost's fans will probably be more thrilled when he gets into the action and later when he spouts a few one-liners more in-line with his characters from "Shaun" and "Hot Fuzz," since that's what most of the fans will be waiting for.

Even so, neither of them is quite as funny as a drunken giggling Eddie Marsan while the other two--Martin Freeman and Paddy Considine--both play it straighter even though they have some funny lines and get in just as much on the action. Rosamund Pike shows up as a mutual love interest of Steve and Gary's although she quickly disappears and feels like another wasted female character in a summer full of them.

The action sequences are so much fun you'll probably quickly set aside the question "How are all these businessmen so adept at martial arts moves?" and just go along with it, although it is quite a jarring change in tone and direction for those enjoying the buddy comedy aspect of the movie. Things start getting somewhat surreal when they arrive at a pub where they seem to be holding some sort of school disco and three of the friends are seduced by three of the girls from high school who haven't gotten older due to the alien tampering.

Whlie Wright uses many of his distinctive directing trademarks, this isn't the fast cut joke a minute movie that was "Hot Fuzz," instead feeling more like other standard comedies just with a stronger plot and characters yet not feeling the need to fill every frame with a gag. In some ways, it feels like the script just isn't nearly as well developed as some of those other movies maybe because they were all doing other things.

The other thing that didn't quite work this time was the soundtrack with Wright mostly using British hits from the early '90s by Primal Scream, Happy Mondays and others. They're great tunes for sure, but the music in Wright's previous movies always added another clever level to the humor in some way and that's sorely missing.

Where things start to go really wrong is when the movie cuts to an odd flash forward epilogue that's such a strange departure from the tone of the rest of the movie that it takes you out of what you've just seen and not everyone will be on board with it.

The Bottom Line:
"The World's End" is a very different movie from its predecessors, feeling almost like two movies in one, and as much as the genre elements offer some fun action and jokes, it's hard not to feel that the movie would have worked just as well with the six actors doing a straight pub crawl without all that. It's still funnier than 90% of the comedies you're likely to see this summer but maybe fashioning it as a trilogy with "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" wasn't a great idea since it leads to comparisons it can't possibly live up to being such a different movie.

10 Facts about Dexter

Overview

Dexter is an American television drama series that debuted on Showtime on October 1, 2006. The series centers on Dexter Morgan, a blood spatter pattern analyst for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer.

“Dexter” is the hit Showtime series about Dexter Morgan: husband, father and blood splatter analyst by day, vigilante serial killer at night. The duel nature of Dexter’s character is what has made the show so popular. Sure he kills people, but he is killing the people who truly deserve it, so it’s OK. Since Dexter is a serial killer with a purpose, he has bound himself to a strict code of conduct when it comes to procuring his kills. But even Dexter’s killing code isn’t enough to keep the complications of juggling a family, a full-time job and a killing career at bay.

 

Storyline

 

Meet Dexter Morgan. By day he’s a blood spatter pattern expert for the Miami Metro police department. But by night – he takes on an entirely different persona: serial killer. But Dexter isn’t your average serial killer as he only kills people who fit a very prolific and precise “moral code” taught to him by his late father Harry (he didn’t kill Harry, honest), and developed very thoroughly throughout each kill. While dealing with his daily activities and his boss, Sgt. Doakes, the one man who may or may not know the truth about his after-hours activities, he is given a friendly message by a guy referred to only as “The Ice Truck Killer” – a crime scene where there is no blood. This shocking discovery turns Dexter’s world completely upside down. The Ice Truck Killer wants Dexter to play his game and Dexter is very eager to take on this cat-and-mouse chase throughout Miami. Written by halo1k.

 

The facts

1. The Code- To govern who and when he kills Dexter has “The Code”. Taught to him by his adoptive father Harry, “The Code” ensures that Dexter never kills until he is 100% sure that a person is guilty and never takes an innocent life.
2. Relationships-Dexter sees himself as a person devoid of human emotions. Because of that, he doesn’t have very many close relationships. He spends his days and nights playing the role of what he thinks it looks like to be a respectable person. It’s a disguise that has served him well. No one in his inner circle suspects that their sweet, innocent friend Dexter is a cold blooded killer.
3. Enemies- Because he is so well liked, Dexter really doesn’t have any enemies. Since the show’s beginning, Dexter has only run across three people who hated him enough to try to do him in, and all of them are dead.
4. Family- With both of his parents dead, Dexter’s only living relative is his sister, Deb Morgan. In season four Dexter, expanded his family to include his new wife Rita, her two, and a new baby boy. Having a family hasn’t turned Dexter into a more emotional person, it has just made his killing career more difficult.
5. Work- By day Dexter works as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department. The nature of his job gives him access to Police files, so knows who has slipped through the cracks of the justice system.
6. Other Killers- Dexter has a deep seeded disrespect for other serial killers that work in his city. Because most serial killers do it for the thrill and kill innocent people, he feels that they have no discipline and need to be taken out.
7. Getting Caught- In addition to governing who and why he kills, “The Code” is also there to keep Dexter from getting caught. During the series Dexter has had a few close calls, but has always been able to pin his deeds on other killers who are usually dead, or he gets the bodies out of dodge before anyone could find them.
8. Biological Family- Dexter has always known that he was adopted. His search for his biological family has led him to his brother—another serial killer—and the reason he developed the ability to kill. Now we aren’t the kind of people that go around judging people’s families, but we think two serial killers in the same family means that there is something seriously wrong with Dexter’s gene pool.
9. Sex- Since he has some serious emotional issues, Dexter doesn’t have an interest in sex. He can perform when need be as part of keeping up the appearance of a normal, fully functional husband. But left to his own devices, Dexter would only have sex once a year for the release. We have decided that if Dexter had more sex, he wouldn’t have to kill as much.
10. Proteges- During his killing career has only taken on one protege. An Assistant District Attorney and serial killer, Miguel Prado. Dexter was happy to have someone to share his dark side with for awhile, but the friendship quickly went sour when Miguel used the killing secrets Dexter taught him to kill innocent people and further his career. Needless to say, this did not end well for Miguel.

Ten Facts About Sherlock.

Overview

Sherlock is a British television crime drama that presents a contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes detective stories. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes and Martin Freeman as Doctor John Watson.

Storyline

In this modernized version of the Conan Doyle characters, using his detective plots, Sherlock Holmes lives in early 21st century London and acts more cocky towards Scotland Yard’s detective inspector Lestrade because he’s actually less confident. Doctor Watson is now a fairly young veteran of the Afghan war, less adoring and more active.Written by KGF Vissers

The Facts

• Matt Smith auditioned for the role of Doctor Watson before his Doctor Who audition.

• The actual address used for filming the exteriors of 221B Baker Street is 187 North Gower Street, London NW1.

• As in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stories, the term “deduction” is misused. Like medical diagnosticians, hunters and yes, detectives, what Holmes actually uses is neither deduction nor induction, but a third form of inference called “abductive reasoning”.

• In the original stories, Dr. Watson has also done military service in Afghanistan.

• In this series, Watson was wounded in the shoulder but has psychosomatic/psychogenic pain in his leg. This is a sly reference to the original stories in which Arthur Conan Doyle was inconsistent about the location of Watson’s war wound.

• The typeface used in the overlays is Johnston Sans, well-known for its use in the London Underground.

• Benedict Cumberbatch was cast after Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss watched his performance in Atonement. They thought he looked like a perfect Holmes.

• During the hiatus between the first and second series, Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch were both cast in Peter Jackson’s films The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. This time Freeman took the lead as Bilbo, and Cumberbatch provided the voice of the dragon Smaug.

• As part of his preparation after being cast as Holmes, Benedict Cumberbatch read every original Conan Doyle story.

• In the summer of 2011 Danny Boyle created a National Theatre production of ‘Frankenstein’ in which Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller played the creator and monster and alternately changed nightly. Both actors then went on to play another Victorian creation Sherlock Holmes, both set in the present day, allbeit opposite side of the Atlantic

How Ben Affleck Got Cast as Batman

The internet almost exploded Thursday night when Warner Bros. officially announced that Ben Affleck had been cast as Batman/Bruce Wayne in Zack Snyder's upcoming sequel to Man of Steel. This was a surprise to many, especially given that all the other casting rumors for the role had actors such as Josh Brolin, Joe Manganiello, Richard Armitage, Matthew Goode, and Max Martini as being up for the role, with nary a mention of Affleck. Pieces of the story about how Affleck got the part have now surfaced.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, talks began between Snyder, Warner Bros. and Affleck earlier this year. After completing work on Man of Steel, Snyder reportedly had an idea for a follow-up and the studio began to gauge interest from actors, including the rumored Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling. Affleck was open to the idea and began discussing the story and the character with Snyder and when he liked what he heard, negotiations began for him to appear.

Since the announcement many fans have celebrated the choice, others have remained optimistic, and many have been very vocal in their opposition, even going as far as to create online petitions. Like it or not though, Affleck is here to stay - the actor is said to have signed on for a multi-picture deal that begins with 2015's Superman/Batman film. The trade adds that Affleck will shoot Gone Girl from September until February, then shift to the Superman/Batman film from February to August (while doing pre-production on Live By Night), then tackle that film, a Prohibition gangster movie, as writer-director-star next fall.

Man of Steel's Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman in the film along with co-stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

The new film is being scripted by David S. Goyer from a story he co-created with Zack Snyder. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan and Wesley Coller serving as executive producers. It is scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2015.

Scott Cooper Eyes Stephen King's The Stand

With the formerly attached Ben Affleck now set for some caped crusading, Warner Bros.' adaptation of The Stand is in need of someone else to helm. The Hollywood Reporter today brings word that Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper has entered negotiations to do just that.

Previously adapted as a television miniseries in 1994, "The Stand" tells the story of a full-scale apocalypse, driven by the accidental release of a biological weapon and the ensuing struggle of good versus evil carried out by the world's final survivors.

Cooper's second feature, Out of the Furnace, is scheduled to hit theaters on December 6 with a cast that includes Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, Forest Whitaker, Willem Dafoe, Zoe Saldana and Sam Shepard.

Timothy Dalton Joins Showtime's Penny Dreadful

Timothy Dalton, two-time James Bond and star of recent features like Hot Fuzz and Toy Story 3, has been cast in the new Showtime drama series "Penny Dreadful," which will begin filming this fall for a 2014 premiere on the network. Dalton is set to play Sir Malcolm, a hardened African explorer on a deeply personal quest. He joins recently announced stars Josh Hartnett and Eva Green.

"Penny Dreadful" is created, written and executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator) and executive produced by Logan's Desert Wolf Productions, along with Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, "Call The Midwife"), both of Neal Street. Of the eight episodes, the first two will be directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, who helmed The Orphanage and The Impossible, which starred Naomi Watts in an Oscar-nominated performance.

Ben Affleck Cast as Batman in Man of Steel Sequel!

Zack Snyder's still untitled Superman/Batman sequel to this past summer's Man of Steel. The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President, Creative Development and Worldwide Production, and Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. The studio has slated the film to open worldwide on July 17, 2015.

Last months surprise announcement of the new movie featuring both Superman and Batman created a wave of excitement and immediately fueled discussion and debate among fans as well as in the media about who would put on the cape and cowl of Bruce Wayne's alter ego.

Snyder successfully re-imagined the origin of Clark Kent/Superman in the worldwide blockbuster Man of Steel, which has earned more than $650 million worldwide to date, and climbing. The director will now create an original vision of Batman and his world for the film that brings the two DC Comics icons together.

Affleck will star opposite Henry Cavill, who will reprise the role of Superman/Clark Kent. The film will also reunite Man of Steel stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

In the announcement, Silverman stated, "We knew we needed an extraordinary actor to take on one of DC Comics' most enduringly popular Super Heroes, and Ben Affleck certainly fits that bill, and then some. His outstanding career is a testament to his talent and we know he and Zack will bring new dimension to the duality of this character."

Snyder also expressed his excitement about the casting of Affleck, noting, "Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can't wait to work with him."

Kroll added, "We are so thrilled that Ben is continuing Warner Bros.' remarkable legacy with the character of Batman. He is a tremendously gifted actor who will make this role his own in this already much-anticipated pairing of these two beloved heroes."

Affleck recently starred in the Academy Award-winning Best Picture Argo, which he also directed and produced, earning acclaim and a BAFTA Award nomination for his performance in the film, as well as a number of directing honors.

The new film is being scripted by David S. Goyer from a story he co-created with Zack Snyder. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan and Wesley Coller serving as executive producers.

Movie Review: JOBS

Review: Not that we need a movie to tell us, but it took a huge amount of talent, skill and luck for a brash young man to introduce personal computers to the world and build the most successful electronics company in history from nothing. Almost as much talent, skill and luck as it took to turn the story of those events into an incredibly dull film.

Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher) became enough of an icon prior to his passing in 2011 that the facts of his life have become something of a modern myth: the founding of Apple Computer in his garage; his ouster from the company several years later due at least in part to his expensive perfectionism; his final triumphant return, reversing the company's long descent. If you were trying to write a rags-to-riches story (or, at least, middle class-to-riches) story in the classic Hollywood underdog role, you couldn't ask for a better model than Jobs' relationship with Apple.

The people behind "JOBS" the film certainly seems to think so at any rate. Purportedly an examination of the man's life itself and how he was able to do what he did, it quickly ditches its hope of insight in favor or re-enacting the greatest hits of the rise of Apple.

We should be able to get the hint that is what they intend right from the beginning as a middle-aged Jobs prepares to introduce the iPod for the first time amid forced, soaring music in the kind of clich� biopics have been peddling forever (which sums up much of the experience of watching "JOBS"). From there it flashes back to a younger, hairier Jobs with whom we will spend much of the film, the bulk of which is devoted to the founding of Apple and Jobs' initial ouster from it in 1985. And occasionally to his relationships with actual human beings.

Kutcher himself has eerily perfected an imitation of Jobs that is at once recognizable without being an impersonation. You will never forget you are looking at an actor but you will always know you are looking at Steve Jobs. In fact, writer Matt Whiteley and director Joshua Stern ("Swing Vote") have a knack getting right into the heart of their scenes, using them to show off exactly the side of the character they want. And the three of them together have got Jobs absolutely nailed, from his foresight and brashness to his peevishness and temper, even if they have to regularly fall back on plodding tropes of the genre, particularly the soundtrack which recycles almost every song played in a movie set in the 1970s.

It's not just Jobs either. The film is well cast with Josh Gad and Dermot Mulroney in particular turning in some of their best performances as Steve Wozniak and Mike Markkula. Not coincidentally they tend to bring the best out of Kutcher as well. Nor does the film shy away from Jobs' darker aspects, such as his refusal to acknowledge his biological daughter for several years, or withholding ownership in Apple from several of its earliest employees, as it builds him up as his own worst enemy.

Ultimately, however, it has no idea what to do with any of this. And when it doesn't know what to do, it fills space with a montage. Jobs' trip to India, a foundational part of his young adulthood--for which the crew actually went and filmed with the actors in India? Montage. Jobs' wooing of Pepsi CEO John Sculley (Matthew Modine) with whom he would one day vie for control of Apple? Montage. The dozen years between his exit from Apple and his return during which time he bought Pixar, got married and started a family, mended his relationship with his daughter and generally became a more stable person? Montage.

These are hallmarks of a film which either did not come together the way its makers intended or who did not have a plan to bring it together to start with. The result is a patchwork of scenes slapped together with little drive to keep your interest on it.

It's not a bad movie, the performances are generally spot on and Jobs' life story is hard to make boring all of the time--just most of it, it turns out--but Stern and company have managed the task of taking an actually interesting narrative and draining it like a vampire, with nothing to show for their results but a wasted two hours. That's some sort of feat, but it's not a good one.

Disney's planes Review

Hey, so I thought about it and decided that I'm going to write reviews about movies mostly. So the first review will be on Disney's new movie "Planes".

Summary: "Planes" has some cool flying animation and should please children, but the unoriginal plot and bland characters make it pretty forgettable for everyone older than 10.

Story: Set in the world of "Cars," "Planes" features Dusty Crophopper, a crop dusting plane that dreams of one day becoming a racer. Determined and optimistic, nothing gets this plane down� except his fear of extreme heights. Through skill and good fortune, Dusty manages to qualify for a race around the world, but he's going to need to get over his fear of heights if he has any hope of winning the race. He might just do it with the help of his friends including an old WWII fighter by the name of Skipper. Dusty will need the experienced plane's expertise if he's going to defeat the reigning champion Ripslinger.

"Planes" is rated PG for some mild action and rude humor.
Likes: For me, the highlight of "Planes" was the 3D animation. It worked quite well as the airplanes flew in and out of the screen and they gave you a first person view as Dusty flew through canyons, between trees, and around other obstacles. The end result is a film that makes the most of the big screen medium.

While much of the film was rather bland, a couple of scenes did stand out. The first was when El Chupacabra, in an attempt to woo the Canadian plane Rochelle, starts singing "Love Machine" with a blaring boom box. But then Dusty helps him and he ends up singing a great acoustic version of the song along with a Mariachi band. It turns into an unexpected and fun musical moment. Another scene features a flashback by Skipper to his WWII days. We see him and his squadron in a rather brutal air battle against some ships in the Pacific. It was an unexpected moment in an otherwise 'safe' movie with no surprises. I probably could have watched an entire film of nothing but the WWII planes.

While there are no bonus scenes in the credits, there is a logo for the upcoming "Planes: Fire and Rescue." So if you or your kids liked this film, you'll be glad to see that.

Gripes: The big problem with "Planes" is that it feels completely phoned in. Other than the fact that it features living airplanes, there is no other novelty to this story. It's your typical underdog sports story with all of the usual clich�s and it is utterly predictable. You can look at the movie poster and trailer and figure out the entire plot of this film. It's that by the numbers.

Besides the familiar plot, none of the characters are real standouts. Dane Cook was perfectly adequate as Dusty Crophopper, but anybody could have played the role and done an equivalent job. All of the other characters are similarly dull which is a surprise considering the cast includes Stacy Keach, Brad Garrett, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and John Cleese. They even have a fun "Top Gun"-themed cameo by Val Kilmer and Anthony Edwards, but you don't even realize it was them until the credits rolled. Overall, it does not feel like the cast was used to their full potential.
The Bottom Line: I'm sure "Planes" will make Disney a lot of money and kids under 10 will love it. And while it is severely lacking in many respects, there are a lot worse films that parents could sit through. "Planes," fortunately, is tolerable.

Cast: Dane Cook as Dusty Crophopper (voice)
Stacy Keach as Skipper (voice)
Brad Garrett as Chug (voice)
Teri Hatcher as Dottie (voice)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Rochelle (voice)
Priyanka Chopra as Ishani (voice)
John Cleese as Bulldog (voice)
Cedric the Entertainer as Leadbottom (voice)
Carlos Alazraqui as El Chupacabra / Additional Voices (voice)
Roger Craig Smith as Ripslinger / Additional Voices (voice)
Anthony Edwards as Echo (voice)
Val Kilmer as Bravo (voice)
Sinbad as Roper (voice)
Gabriel Iglesias as Ned / Zed (voice)

D23: Disney unveils new images and descriptions of upcoming animated series

"Big Hero 6" features brilliant robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion--a robot named Baymax--Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city.
