Story of G-Force
The film is about a special team of trained secret agent animals. They have cool gadgets that let them talk to humans! The main team includes three guinea pigs: Darwin, Blaster, and Juarez. There's also Speckles, a star-nosed mole who is super good with computers. And Mooch, a housefly, is great at scouting.
Their leader, Ben, sends them on a secret mission. They sneak into the home of Leonard Saber, a rich man who makes electronics. The FBI is already watching Saber. The team finds important information about a scary plan called "Clusterstorm." This plan is set to happen in just 48 hours.
However, Ben's boss, Kip Killian, arrives for an inspection. He is amazed by the team's skills but gets angry about the unauthorized mission. The information they found seems useless, just about coffee makers! So, Killian orders the G-Force unit to be shut down. Their equipment is taken away, and the animals are sent to be used for experiments.
With help from Ben and his assistant Marcie, Darwin, Juarez, Blaster, Mooch, and Speckles escape. They hope to stop Saber's plan. But they end up in a pet carrier, headed for a pet shop! Ben and Marcie send a trained cockroach named Harry to get Darwin's special computer. This computer has all the important information.
Trapped in the pet shop, the G-Force team meets new friends. There's Hurley, a relaxed guinea pig, and Bucky, a grumpy hamster. They also meet three mice who always agree with Bucky. Blaster and Juarez manage to get sold to a family. They plan to come back for their friends. Speckles tries to escape by pretending to be dead. But he gets thrown into a garbage truck and seems to be gone. Mooch flies back to Ben to tell him where the others are. But Darwin escapes with Hurley before Ben can get them.
While Blaster and Juarez return to Ben, he and Marcie discover something important. The "useless" information on Darwin's computer actually has a hidden computer virus. This virus was hiding the real plan! Meanwhile, Darwin and Hurley are making their way to Ben. Darwin sees a Saberling coffee maker and decides to check it out. Suddenly, the machine comes alive! It turns into a dangerous fighting robot, like something from the Transformers movies. Darwin and Hurley manage to defeat it by making it crash into an SUV.
Darwin and Hurley bring the broken robot to Ben on a skateboard. When they examine it, they realize that "Sabersense" and "Clusterstorm" are the same thing. The chips inside Saber's appliances can turn them into killer robots!
Ben then tells the team a surprising truth. They are not special animals with super genes. They are ordinary animals that Ben found and trained. Juarez was found at a food stand. Blaster was found at a lab. Speckles lost his family and home when a golf course was built. He also became blind and needed special glasses. Darwin was adopted from a pet store because his parents left him. Hurley cheers them up by reminding them of all the amazing things they have done. He says they made themselves extraordinary. He also suggests using the virus from Darwin's computer to shut down Saber's main computer.
With new energy and little time, Ben helps the team get into Saber's house. They need to plant the virus. But FBI agents, ordered by Killian, are trying to catch them. The team has to escape in a super-fast vehicle called the RDV. Mooch acts as their camera from the sky. During the chase, the FBI cars crash, but no agents are hurt.
The team gets into Saber's main computer room. They find a bomb trap but avoid it because they are small. Hurley notices a Saberling microwave oven, which also transforms and attacks. In an appliance store, all the machines turn into killer robots and start combining! The microwave tries to attack the guinea pigs. The team fights the monster until it is destroyed by the bomb trap. The fight separates the group, leaving only Darwin and Mooch to take down the main computer. At the same time, Leonard Saber is shocked. He thought his appliances would just talk to each other, not become killing machines!
When Darwin reaches the main computer, he finds Speckles! Speckles had faked his death and found new glasses. He is the real mastermind behind the plan. He is also the mysterious "Mr. Yanshu" (which means mole in Chinese). Speckles explains his plan: to pull space debris from orbit and make the Earth's surface unlivable. He admits he tricked Saber into putting the chips in the appliances. He also says he messed up G-Force's earlier mission so they wouldn't find out. Speckles explains he is angry at humans for what happened to his family.
Speckles then combines all the nearby appliances into a giant walking robot. This robot, along with falling space debris, quickly overpowers the police. It grabs the command truck with Marcie, Killian, Saber, and Ben inside. During the fight, Speckles sends a blender robot to attack Darwin. Darwin loses his parachute and computer. But Darwin manages to convince Speckles that his new family is with the G-Force team and Ben. He tells Speckles he will lose what he has left if he keeps fighting. Speckles agrees and tries to shut down the robot. But it's out of control! Darwin uses his computer (which Mooch found) to finally stop the robot. The FBI then arrests Saber.
The FBI Director praises the guinea pigs and makes them special agents. G-Force is brought back as a unit and gets bigger! Hurley, Bucky, and the mice join the team. Saber has to recall all his products. Speckles is given the job of removing the bad chips from all of Saber's appliances. Agent Killian is sent to an FBI base in the South Pole as punishment.
