Plot

Megamind (Will Ferrell) and his life-long archenemy Metro Man (Brad Pitt) are aliens that were sent away from their respective home planets in time of crisis. Megamind, taking the role of super villain, tries to conquer Metro City in every imaginable way - Each attempt, a colossal failure, thanks to Metro Man, who becomes the hero of Metro City. It seems that the pattern will never cease until Megamind kills Metro Man during one of his many botched hostage plots involving news reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Tina Fay). Now freed from his rival's shadow, Megamind proceeds to take control of Metro City. Over time, Megamind comes to the realization that he no longer has any purpose in life without an enemy. To appease his depression, he turns Roxanne's lonely cameraman Hal (Jonah Hill) into Metro City's next big superhero, the fiery headed Tighten (also Hill). Unfortunately, Tighten decides to utilize his new power against humanity as revenge for the lifetime of rejection he has endured, forcing Megamind to do the inevitable: become the hero of the crisis. Aided by his childhood sidekick Minion (David Cross), Megamind now sets out to stop Tighten's rampage of destruction, thus beginning a path to redemption.
