"The widowed Mrs Brisby, a field mouse, lives with her children in a cinderblock on the rural Fitzgibbon farm - although not for much longer

With harvest season approaching, she must relocate her family before their home is destroyed by the farmer's plough. But her son, Timothy, has fallen ill and can?t be moved. In desperate need of help, Mrs Brisby pays a visit to the Great Owl, who in turn introduces her to Nicodemus: the wise leader of a rat colony living beneath a rose bush on the Fitzgibbon property

The rats are technologically advanced and possess vast intelligence due to their connection to a mysterious place they call NIMH, and agree to help Mrs Brisby due to a cherished friendship with her late husband

But not all of the rats are so kind, and the power-hungry Jenner has a vested interest in making sure that Mrs Brisby and her family stay put..."
