FILM DESCRIPTION

The world's favorite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain-League-agent, Gru, returns for a bold new era of Minions mayhem in Illumination's DESPICABLE ME 4. Gru, Lucy and their girls welcome a new member to the family - Gru Jr. - who is intent on tormenting his dad, as a new nemesis shows up and forces the family to go on the run.
