Story
Wanting to maintain his hero status, Red (voice of Jason Sudeikis) stirs up the wars between Bird Island and Piggy Island. Red and his friends Chuck (Josh Gad) and Bomb (Danny McBride) need to protect their island from piggy pranks. Meanwhile Leonard (Bill Hader) and his piggy friends constantly bombard Bird Island with objects.
A new threat emerges in the form of Zeta (Leslie Jones), an unhinged, psychotic female eagle, intent on destroying both Bird and Piggy Island. Eagle Island is a frozen volcano and, with the aid of her eagle soldiers, Zeta invents a frozen ice ball, filled with volcanic lava. The ice ball can be shot out of a super weapon and Zeta plans to use it to set both Bird Island and Piggy Island on fire.
Leonard and Red must form a truce and fight together. They gather a small band of warriors and, with the intellectual guidance of Chuck’s sister Silver (Rachel Bloom), they devise a plan to destroy the super weapon. In the process Red learns some important lessons.
