The story
Set after the events of Continental Drift, Scrat's epic pursuit of his elusive acorn catapults him outside of Earth, where he accidentally sets off a series of cosmic events that transform and threaten the planet. To save themselves from peril, Manny, Sid, Diego, and the rest of the herd leave their home and embark on a quest full of thrills and spills, highs and lows, laughter and adventure while traveling to exotic new lands and locations.
Ice Age: Collision Course recap
Scrat, chasing his acorn, launches a buried alien spaceship and sends an asteroid on course for Earth. On the ground, Peaches is engaged to Julian, a mammoth Manny doesn't trust, and the couple plan to leave the herd. Diego and Shira want children, Sid has been dumped, and Manny has forgotten his anniversary with Ellie. Meteorites start falling, and Buck returns from underground with an ancient stone that shows asteroids have wiped out life before and points to the crash site of an old one. A trio of flying dinosaurs try to stop the herd so they can survive the impact and rule what is left. The herd reaches Geotopia, a community inside an old asteroid whose crystals keep its residents young, ruled by Shangri Llama. Sid falls for Brooke, a sloth who lives there.
Ice Age: Collision Course ending explained
Buck works out that the crystals are magnetic, and Sid accidentally breaks them, ageing the residents. The herd and the Geotopians pack a volcano with the crystals, Julian helps Manny push the last one into place, and the eruption fires them into the sky, pulling the asteroid away from Earth. Peaches and Julian marry, Brooke finds Sid again, and Granny stays behind in a hot spring that keeps her young.
Post-credits scenes
During the credits, Scrat is shown battered by the spaceship's automatic doors. There is no scene after the credits.
