A widowed field mouse must move her family -- including an ailing son -- to escape a farmer's plow. Aided by a crow and a pack of superintelligent, escaped lab rats, the brave mother struggles to transplant her home to firmer ground.
Directed by Don Bluth, The Secret of NIMH leans on a strong ensemble — Elizabeth Hartman, Derek Jacobi, Arthur Malet — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1982.
