Poor 10-year-old Lucas Nickle (voiced by Zach Tyler) can't get a break. Recently moved to a ney city with his family, he hasn't made a single friend.In turn, Lucas delights in destroying ant hills in his front yard - venting his frustration on the defenseless mounds of dirt and their tiny inhabitants by kicking them, stomping them with the garden hose.But, unbeknownst to Lucas, there is a whole world alive and busy just under his feet and what he sees as "just a bunch of little ants" are actually members of a complex society, with names and relationships, responsibilities and emotions. They're getting tired of having their homes trampled by Lucas the Destroyer. And they're ready to fight back.The magic potion that Wizard Ant Zoc (Voiced by Nicolas Cage) has long been working on is finally finished.One drop in Lucas's gigantic human ear and he is instandily shrunken down to ant size and taken deep below the ant hill to be placed on trial.
