What is the storyline for Minions: The Rise of Gru?
In Minions: The Rise of Gru, a sinister character named Scarlet Overkill is set to take over the world, and it’s up to our three lovable Minions – Kevin, Bob, and Stuart-to try their best to stop her. But when they find out that she’s also after Gru (who has lost his memory), they have some big decisions to make…
Bobby Moynihan explains the plot of Minions: The Rise of Gru.
“Gru has a wife, who he’s lost his memory to Lucy Wilde (Sandra Bullock). She is currently in charge, and she is super sweet.”
Lucy hands over her job as CEO to Captain Smek (Steve Carell), but that doesn’t go well, so Stuart goes on “a journey with Kevin – voiced by Pierre Coffin-to find out what happened.” They meet Scarlet Overkill (Scarlett Johansson) and Herb Overkill, who want help from Gru for their villainy plans. So they travel back to England, where we will see Silas Ramsbottom (Coogan) and Edith Felton (Mirielle Enos), and the Minions find out that Scarlet is after Gru.
“Scarlet gets her hands on a shrink ray, which she plans to use for world domination.”

Synopsis:
The plot focuses on how her twin brother supervillain Benjamin (voiced by Steve Carell) has been recruited to help out the other villains at Villain Con – that’s where they go to meet each other so that they can do evil together. He tries his best to create something new, which unfortunately falls flat with almost all of them there for their annual convention, except for one – the mastermind and all-around evil genius, Dr. Nefario (voiced by Russell Brand).
Gru is recruited to help out with a heist at Villain Con because his diminutive size makes him perfect for getting through tight spaces. He also gets roped into designing an invention that will allow villains around the world to finally take over! The machine winds up being really big, so it’s not suitable for Gru but instead becomes something of a side project that he works on in between supervillain hijinks.
