**Plot Summary:**
The story is set in the fictional city of Ninjago, which is frequently under attack from the evil Lord Garmadon (voiced by Justin Theroux). The city's only hope lies in the secret identities of a group of high school students who are also ninja warriors. Led by the Green Ninja, Lloyd Garmadon (voiced by Dave Franco), the team consists of Kai, Jay, Nya, Zane, Cole, and Master Wu (voiced by Jackie Chan), who serves as their mentor.
Lloyd is unique among the ninja because he is the estranged son of Lord Garmadon. As they battle Lord Garmadon's forces and face various challenges, they must also grapple with their own personal issues, including the strained relationship between Lloyd and his father. The movie explores themes of family, teamwork, and the importance of finding one's true potential.
The Green Ninja and his friends use their elemental powers and fighting skills to protect the city from the threat of Lord Garmadon and his armies, including a fearsome shark army.
Throughout the film, there are humor, action sequences, and spectacular LEGO animation as the ninja team embarks on a quest to find the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon, which they hope will end the threat from Lord Garmadon once and for all.
