The Lego Movie

In the Lego universe, the wizard Vitruvius is blinded when he fails to protect a superweapon called the “Kragle” (a misreading of Krazy Glue) from the evil Lord Business, but prophesies that a person called “The Special” will find the Piece of Resistance capable of stopping the Kragle. Lord Business claims Vitruvius made up the prophecy and kicks Vitruvius off a cliff.

Eight and a half years later, in Bricksburg, optimistic construction worker Emmet Brickowski comes across a woman searching for something at his construction site. Emmet falls into a pit and finds the Piece of Resistance. Compelled to touch it, Emmet experiences visions, including one of a giant called “The Man Upstairs”, and passes out. He awakens in the custody of Bad Cop, Business’s lieutenant, with the Piece of Resistance attached to his back.

Emmet learns of Business’s plans to freeze the world with the Kragle; the Piece of Resistance is the glue tube’s cap. The woman, nicknamed Wyldstyle, rescues Emmet, believing him to be the Special. They escape Bad Cop and travel to “The Old West” where they meet Vitruvius. He and Wyldstyle are Master Builders, capable of building anything without instruction manuals, who oppose Business’s attempts to suppress their creativity. Though disappointed Emmet is not a Master Builder, they are convinced of his potential when he recalls visions of “the Man Upstairs.”
