Years ago somewhere in Japan two best friends named Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki joined a clan called the Foot to learn to become great ninjas. After years of being in this clan eventually both of the men fell in love with the same woman which drove a rift between their relationship that ended with Hamato leaving the clan and marrying the woman who he then had a daughter with. Almost a year later Oroku filled with jealousy would break into Hamato's house and kill his wife and take his daughter leaving Hamato with nothing. Hamato would later move to America where during an accident was exposed to an ooze that turned him and his pet turtles into mutants. The main plot of the movie would then follow the turtles who unlike most adaptations aren't teenagers as they try and unravel a conspiracy surrounding the Techno Global Research Industries aka T.G.R.I and find out the secret behind the ooze while also having to fight a famous scientist named Baxter Stockman after the turtles accidentally exposed him to the ooze and turned him into a giant fly. The movie would end with the turtles stopping Baxter with the help of reporter April O'Neil. In the post credits scene we would see on the top floor of the T.G.R.I building a mysterious figure watching footage of the turtles and recognizing their fighting style.
