Despicable Me 3 recap
Gru and Lucy, now married and working for the Anti-Villain League, fail to capture Balthazar Bratt, a former 1980s child star turned villain, and he escapes with a huge diamond. The new director, Valerie Da Vinci, fires them both. Most of the Minions leave Gru when he refuses to return to villainy, and they end up in prison. Gru learns he has a twin brother, Dru, whom he never knew about, and the family travels to the country of Freedonia. Dru is rich, has lots of hair, and wants to become a supervillain like their late father, the Bald Terror. Gru agrees to help Dru steal the diamond from Bratt, secretly planning to return it to the AVL and win back his job. Lucy tries to win over the girls as their mother, and Agnes searches Freedonia for a unicorn.
