SYNOPSIS:

As an unsolved crimewave rises in New York City, April O'Neil (Judith Hoag) for Channel 3 Eyewitness News covers the reports and rumors of a mysterious 'Foot Clan' which seems to be the organization that is plaguing the city. Much to the ire of Chief of Police Chief Sterns (Raymond Serra) who refuses to believe that they exist. April is attacked in an alley by a group of punks who are quickly taken down when a weapon flies through the air, knocking out the street light. While police are investigating the attack, April finds the sai responsible for knocking out the street light and takes it. One of the fighters, from the cover of the sewers watches this and curses himself for his bad luck.

While celebrating, the four mutated teenage turtles Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael reunite with their master Splinter to recount their first true battle. In a huff, Raphael leaves to go see a movie. After Raph leaves the theater, he chases muggers into the park and encounters Casey Jones (Elias Koteas), a hockey masked vigilante whose brutal attacks on the muggers forces the turtle to stand up for them. After a brief scuffle, Casey escapes Raph leaving him in a humiliating defeat further fueling his anger. He later comes to April's defense after her belief in the Foot Clan draws a few members out who attack her, knocking her out. Raph retrieves his sai and fights them off, unaware that he leads one of them back to their sewer Den. April revives and after being calmed down is told the story of Splinter and the turtles' origins. After some time there, the turtles lead to her home at 11th and Bleecker Street, her apartment home built on top of her family Antique Store. They spend some time over frozen pizzas telling jokes and stories before they decide they have to head back. Upon their return, the turtles find that their home had been utterly destroyed and their master taken.

With nowhere else to go, the four return to April's apartment and spend the night. Meanwhile, Sterns discovers that April's boss Charles Pennington's (Jay Patterson) son Danny (Michael Turney) is in custody, arrested for trying to steal a car stereo, and uses it as leverage to talk to Pennington about other matters. The following morning, Charles warns April not to press any buttons with Sterns, and Danny becomes suspicious when he thinks he sees the turtles in the apartment. Enroute to his school, Charles and Danny have an argument and Danny runs away, fleeing to a hideout outside of town where many delinquents and punks have gathered over skateboard ramps, arcade games and other personal pleasures. They are joined into a meeting with The Shredder a man in a black cloak and metal mask who urges them to find the turtles. Danny stands out and relinquishes the location he thinks he saw the turtles.

April deliberately disobeys Charles' orders and continues to insult Sterns' competency for the job and ignorance to the fact that the Foot Clan exists. After returning home, April gives the turtles a tour of the shop while Raph, after a heated argument with Leo, goes and practices on the roof. He is spotted by Casey, but only seconds before he is attacked by several Foot Clan members. Brutally beaten, Raph makes a re-entrance to the house through the skylight window and the turtles, joined by Casey fight off many members of the footclan. The building is destroyed, and the group escapes, forcing Tatsu and the Foot to leave. They go to a farm that belongs to April's family, and Casey sparks anger with her when he says he heard Charles' message as they got out of the house that she had been fired for her comments that day. Raph soon recovers from his coma, and the four of them practice until it is time for them to return to New York and find Splinter and reunite their family. Danny meets Splinter and is for the first time in turmoil about his decision to leave his family. Leonardo makes meditative contact with Splinter and for the first time is sure that he is alive. After the four of them each encounter him in a shared vision, they decide to return.

Danny had been living for a few days in the Den and makes formal introductions with the Turtles and Casey. But that night he decides to return to Shredder's hideout and speak with Splinter. Splinter tells him the story of his master Hamato Yoshi being killed by another ninja named Oroku Saki, Danny realizes that the Shredder is Oroku Saki. He overhears Shredder telling Tatsu to have Splinter killed. Danny runs into Casey who followed him and the pair face off against Tatsu. After Casey defeats the ninja master, the three of them express the importance of family before leaving.

Meanwhile the Foot, who had set up an attack against the Turtles at their Den were surprised when they had been ambushed the fight escalates up into the streets above and eventually up on a rooftop where the Turtles finally face off against Shredder. Shredder easily out maneuvers the four of them in combat, though Leonardo eventually wounds him. He later takes Leonardo hostage in a threat to have the Turtles throw their weapons away. As he is about to kill them anyway, Splinter appears and challenges Saki to a fight. Shredder remembers the old rat who he injured years prior and charges him with a lance. Using a nunchaku that the he found, Splinter dangles Shredder precariously over the roof's ledge, in a final attempt to kill Splinter, he throws a a knife at him which Splinter catches. However, the rat's grip on the lance is released and the ninja falls into the back of a garbage truck. Casey "accidentally" throws the switch, crushing him in a compactor. Danny pays April back a $20 bill that he had stolen from her earlier and reunites with his father and insists that he be called "Dan" from then on. Charles then pleads April to cover the story offering her a raise and a corner office without breaking a sweat to her demands. Casey approaches her trying to flatter her before she gets ready for her interview, she tells him to just "shut up and kiss me, I got a report to do" Casey gladly complies. Upstairs, the turtles reunite with their father figure and while trying to come up with a proper word to cheer to, he suggests the phrase "Cowabunga," a catch phrase from their '80s animated series, concluding with the phrase "I made a funny!" and laughing as the credits roll.
