Studio Synopsis: Poor 10-year-old Lucas Nickle (Zach Tyler Eisen) canÕt get a break. Recently moved to a new city with his family, he hasnÕt made a single friend. He gets nothing but grief from his teenage sister, Tiffany (Allison Mack), and not a whole lot of attention lately from his parents (Cheri Oteri and Larry Miller), who are busy planning their big anniversary weekend trip to Puerto Vallarta. Meanwhile, his loving but kinda kooky grandmother Mommo (Lily Tomlin) spends all her time trying to protect the family from those space aliens sheÕs been reading about in the grocery store magazines. To make matters worse, Lucas has become the No. 1 target of neighborhood bully Steve, who never misses an opportunity to push him around. In turn, Lucas delights in destroying ant hills in his yardŅventing his frustration on the defenseless mounds of dirt and their tiny inhabitants by kicking them, stomping them and squirting them with the garden hose. But, unbeknownst to Lucas, there is a whole world alive and busy just underneath his feet, and what he sees as Ōjust a bunch of stupid antsĶ are actually members of a complex society, with names and relationships, responsibilities and emotions. TheyÕre getting mighty tired of having their homes trampled by Lucas The Destroyer. And they are ready to fight back. The magic potion that Wizard Ant Zoc (Nicolas Cage) has long been working on is finally finished. One drop in LucasÕ gigantic human ear and he is instantly shrunken down to ant size and taken deep below the ant hill to stand trial.
