Plot Synopsis
The movie sets out to explore a deeper question about the Smurfs' origin and destiny.
The central conflict begins when Papa Smurf (voiced by John Goodman) is mysteriously kidnapped by the evil wizard Gargamel and his brother, Razamel, who is the leader of the Intergalactic Evil Wizard Alliance. The Alliance intends to use four powerful magic books to destroy all the goodness in the universe.
Smurfette (voiced by Rihanna) leads a rescue mission that takes a group of Smurfs—including a new character named No Name Smurf (voiced by James Corden)—out of their village and into the real world (including locations like Paris, Munich, and the Australian Outback).
To save Papa Smurf and stop Razamel, the Smurfs must seek help from Papa Smurf's estranged brother, Ken, in the human world. The adventure forces the Smurfs to discover the true definition of their destiny.
