DESPICABLE ME 4 is the story of a man trying to protect his family. Gru (Steve Carell) attends the reunion party of his 1985 batch at his alma mater, Lycée Pas Bon. Gru, however, has not just gone to socialize with his classmates and have a good time. He is sent there by the Anti-Villain League (AVL) to nab Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell), who has transformed himself into an insect and has dangerous plans. After a lot of difficulties, Gru, the Minions and AVS officials manage to arrest Maxime. Maxime is kept in a high-security prison and yet, he manages to escape. Before running away, he sends a message to Gru that he’ll take revenge on him and his family. Silas Ramsbottom (Steve Coogan), a retired director of AVS, who is brought back for this mission, asks Gru and his family to shift to a safehouse in a sleepy, elite town named Mayflower. Gru, his wife Lucy (Kristen Wiig) and the kids are given new identities and professions. They struggle to adjust to their new surroundings. Trouble arises when Gru’s neighbour Poppy Prescott (Joey King), who’s an aspiring villain, recognizes Gru and starts blackmailing him. On the other hand, Maxime is moving heaven and earth in trying to find Gru. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
