FBI agent Kip Killian (Will Arnett) is getting a mission review in which he learns that a secret squad—consisting of three guinea pigs, a mole, and a housefly—has successfully infiltrated the home of one Saber (Bill Nighy), among the FBI’s most wanted scumbags. The squad did this by using advanced technology for getting in, getting out, and copying key files off Saber’s laptop. Where the mole uses advanced decryption techniques to discover the hidden contents.
And Killian learns this directly from the animals because it turns out they can talk. His response? Because it appears they stole the wrong file off of the computer, their program is to be discontinued and the animals shipped to labs for experimentation. Kind of reminds me of the old joke about the talking dog being sold for $5 because he’s a liar.
Rather than facing life in the lab, everybody makes a run for it. High jinks ensue as they struggle to regroup, and once they do, they still have to take down Saber and his plan to destroy the world (hint: this summer’s second group of malignant transforming kitchen appliances are involved and they’re actually better looking than Michael Bay’s indistinguishable crew).
