Set in the 1970s, this prequel explores how a young Gru dreamed of becoming a supervillain and teams up with a motley crew of Minions to take on the evil Vicious 6.
In a world where villainy has reached new heights, Gru must prove himself worthy to join the prestigious group of Vicious 6. Accompanied by a loyal group of Minions, including Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, Gru sets out on an adventure that will test his wit, courage, and cunning.
