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.
Mrs. Brisby faces an impossible choice between fleeing a mechanical plow and finding a cure for her fading son. This hand-drawn odyssey plunges into a dark, mystical underworld where hyper-intelligent rats guard secrets more dangerous than any predator.
