14 curated questions
Mrs. Frisby, a widowed field mouse, faces a terrible problem: her home will be destroyed by the farmer's plow, but her son Timothy is too sick to move. She seeks help from various creatures, eventually encountering a highly intelligent society of rats who have a secret past with a scientific laboratory called NIMH. These rats, who were experimented on and gained advanced intelligence, agree to help Mrs. Frisby and her family, while also pursuing their own ambitious plan to build a self-sufficient community away from humans.
