Lego Spy was released theatrically in the United States on February 9, 2024 by Universal Pictures to mixed reviews, with critics praising Its animation, voice performances (particularly those of Reeves, Banderas, and Adams), visual style, and Hans Zimmer's musical score, but criticizing its story and writing. It was was a commercial success, earning $640 million on a $165 million budget.

Plot[]

Warner A. Helms is a master spy who always saves the city of BrickIris from his arch-enemy, Dr. Waste. One day, the president surrenders himself to Waste, but Warner foils his plan as always. Waste forces him to either save Brickiris or catch him. Warner stubbornly tells Waste that he means nothing to him and they are not related (which results in Waste swearing the ultimate revenge), and defuses the bomb in seconds.

In Helms Island, Warner's father Ronald tries to convince him to try something new rather than spend the rest of his life working alone. Reluctantly, Warner agrees to come with Ronald to Commissioner Christopher Clark's retirement gala, where Clark retires and passes his role to his daughter, Jodie Clark, whom Warner is smitten by. Waste starts to crash the gala, but surrenders, and the citizens tell Warner that with no more crime, they don't need a crime fighter anymore, crushing his heart when his late mother is mentioned.

Warner decides to send Waste to the Wilderness Zone in order to adapt to the change, although Jodie forbids this. Ronald tells Warner to start taking responsibility for his life by raising Sylvia I. June, an orphaned girl whom Warner accidentally adopted at the gala. After agreeing to work together, Warner and Sylvia secretly steal the Wilderness Zone Projector at the Fortress of Solitude (the home of Warner's friend Dwarf) and take it to the Brickiris Police Department to send Waste to the Wilderness Zone. Discovering this, Jodie accuses Warner of breaking her rule and has her men lock him and Sylvia up and seize the Wilderness Zone Projector as evidence.

In the Wilderness Zone, Waste befriends a bunch of trapped villains, including an evil Scottish-accented robot ninja named Ninja Swingson, and helps them escape. Jodie realizes this and frees Warner and Sylvia with encouragement from Ronald to clear up the misunderstanding. Warner, Sylvia, Jodie, and Ronald build a battleship to find Waste. Swingson intercepts them and retrieves the Wilderness Zone projector, sinking the battleship and himself in the process, but Warner saves his family by building a hang-glider. Upon reaching Helms Island, Warner feels concerned for his family and chooses to send them away for their own good, rather than losing them like his mother.

Waste criticizes Warner for being too incapable of changing his ways and sends him to the Wilderness Zone. There, Warner witnesses the harm his selfishness has caused for everyone in Brickiris and slowly accepts his greatest fear. Making a deal with the Wilderness Zone's keeper to bring back the escaped prisoners, Warner is released from the Wilderness Zone and reconciles with his family. They send the villains back to the Wilderness Zone, but are too late to defuse the bomb, which cracks Brickiris in half. Knowing this was his fault, Warner convinces Waste to help by saying he is the true reason for being the hero, and that if Brickiris falls, he will never get to fight Waste again. Warner, Waste, Sylvia, Jodie, Warner, and the citizens of Brickiris chain-link themselves together and pull the plates back together, saving Brickiris.

With the city saved, Warner prepare to be sent back to the Wilderness Zone to face the consequences of his selfishness, only to be rejected by the keeper, who chooses to let him stay in Brickiris after realizing he is a hero and how much he has changed to save everyone and everything. Afterward, Warner and his family temporarily let Waste get away, knowing that whenever he returns, he is no match for the Warner family. The film ends with Warner spending a new life with his family.
