Description: The 2014 film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” follows April O’Neil, a reporter for Channel 6 Eyewitness News in New York City, as she investigates a crime spree led by the Foot Clan. One night, April witnesses the Foot raiding cargo containers at a dock, only to be interrupted by an unseen vigilante. Intrigued by a symbol left behind, April tries to convince her colleagues of her findings, but they dismiss her claims.
When the Foot Clan takes hostages at a subway station to lure out the vigilante, April becomes a hostage herself. Four mysterious figures arrive, defeat the Clan, and free the hostages. April follows them to a rooftop and is stunned to discover they are anthropomorphic mutant turtles. Overwhelmed, she faints. Upon waking, the turtles urge her to keep their existence a secret.
April recalls her father’s experiment, “Project Renaissance,” involving four turtles named Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael, along with a mutated rat named Splinter. Unable to convince her boss of the turtles’ existence, April confides in Eric Sacks, her late father’s lab partner and CEO of Sacks Industries. Sacks reveals they had been working on a mutagen designed to cure diseases, which he believed was lost in the fire that killed April’s father.
The turtles take April to their sewer lair, where Splinter explains that April saved them from the fire and released them into the sewers. The mutagen caused them to grow and develop humanoid traits. Splinter raised the turtles as his own, teaching them Ninjutsu after finding a book on the martial art. April learns that Sacks betrayed her father and was responsible for his death.
