The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made their first comic book appearance in 1984.
Based on popular characters created by comic book writers Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a reboot of the popular film series of the same name from the early 1990s.
As darkness settles over New York City, the people of the city need new heroes. They’re about to get them in the form of the most unlikely quartet of crime-fighters ever to help humankind — the spunky yet relentless reptilian force known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Crime and fear are spreading through the streets as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have been flexing their iron grip on everything from the police to politicians. The future looks grim until four outcast brothers, who are survivors of a failed scientific experiment, rise from the sewers and take on their destiny as the ultimate masked vigilantes.
Faced with Shredder’s diabolical plans for domination, the Turtles team up with fearless reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox) and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) to save the citizens of New York.
Catch the action when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hits local cinemas on August 21.
