Full Story Summary :-

Movie Spoiler Warning!! [Can Ruin A Movie Ending]

The film opens 3,000 years before the 21st century, during which time a powerful warlord named Yaotl and his four generals discover a portal opening into a parallel universe which is said to have a great power. Upon opening the portal, the warlord is exposed to this power and made immortal, but his four generals are turned to stone. The portal also releases 13 immortal monsters that destroy Yaotl's army, as well as his enemies. Afterwards, the monsters escape into the world, and Yaotl is left alone on the battlefield with his stone generals.

The film then cuts to the twenty-first century. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have grown apart. After the defeat and demise of the Shredder, Master Splinter has sent Leonardo away to Central America for training. The rest of the Turtles have settled into lives in New York:

* Donatello works as an IT specialist and has become the de facto leader

* Michelangelo works as a birthday party entertainer called "Cowabunga Carl"

* Raphael continues fighting crime at night while disguised as the vigilante "Nightwatcher".

April O'Neil, seemingly expanded from her antique store "2nd Time Around", now operates a company that locates rare relics and acquires them for collectors with the help of her boyfriend Casey Jones.

While on a business trip in Central America, April meets Leonardo, whom she advises to return to New York, but he is hesitant to do so out of fear that he has not completed his training. April then tells him how the other Turtles have drifted apart, then leaves Leo to ponder his next move. April returns to New York with a stone statue for her client Max Winters, the wealthy CEO of a financial empire. Leo stows away on board a plane and returns shortly afterwards. April and Casey deliver the statue to Winters at his corporate office, after they leave, Winters is then visited by Karai and the Foot Clan, whom he hires to scour the city searching for the 13 beasts, who will be drawn to New York before the reopening of the portal, scheduled to happen in days. Later, as Nightwatcher, Raph encounters Casey, who reveals his knowledge of Raph's double identity and joins him in hunting criminals (while arguing over who is the sidekick). Meanwhile, Winters reanimates his generals with advanced technology, but they remain stone.

Leo returns home to the sewer of the Turtles, where he faces Splinter. Splinter, desiring him to reunite his brothers as a family, forbids the Turtles from fighting until they can act as a team again. While training, the Turtles encounter one of the thirteen beasts battling with the Foot Clan. Seeing the Foot losing the battle, the Turtles defy Leo and Splinter's orders and engage the beast as well. The beast easily defeats the Turtles, but before it can kill them the four Stone Generals arrive and capture the beast, spiriting it away in a disguised garbage truck. The next morning, Leo and Raph quarrel, and Splinter berates the Turtles for disobeying him after finding out about the damaged they caused. Raphael leaves, clearly upset. He goes to April's apartment to get Casey. As he is about to explain what's going on to Casey, they encounter one of the monsters, and witness its capture by the Foot and the Stone Generals. The Generals spot them, and Raph is hit by a dart fired by a Foot ninja. They are pursued by one of the generals until a police helicopter chases the general off. Casey takes the unconscious Raph to the apartment, while April calls the Turtles for help. While examining Raph, they learn the identities of Winters and his Generals from April. After being revived, Raph suggests they pursue Winters. Leo denies him, saying they won't go anywhere until they get Splinter's blessing. Leo refuses to argue about Splinter's orders, so Raph quits the team. He goes out alone to investigate as the Nightwatcher.

Leo, Donny, and Mikey return to their sewer home to plan their next move, where Donny discovers the reopening of the portal will be directly over Winters' Tower. Splinter calls Leo aside and tells him that his team is not complete, and that he knows what he must do. Meanwhile, 11 monsters have been captured, and General Aguila questions Winters' actions. Believing that their leader is planning to betray them, the Generals conspire to betray Winters, wanting to remain immortal. Meanwhile, Raphael encounters one of the remaining monsters in a diner, but manages to drive it off. Leo finds the Nightwatcher at the diner, and chases him across the rooftops. He corners him, and the two engage in a fight. Leo gains the upper hand, knocking Nightwatcher's helmet off while delivering an uppercut to his face, revealing Raph. Raphael, being resentful of Leo's self-righteous authority and feeling like his brother abandoned him when he left, duels with his brother. Raph ultimately wins when he breaks Leo's swords with his sai. Raph, horrified by his own rage towards his brother, flees the scene. The Stone Generals then seize Leo, intending to substitute him for the thirteenth missing beast. Raph turns around in an attempt to save his brother, but is too late.

Raph returns to Master Splinter and reveals the fight, deciding to make amends by rescuing Leo. Thereafter Splinter and the Turtles, accompanied by Casey and April, travel to Winters' Tower. As the portal opens, Winters discovers the treachery of his generals and begs them to help him repair the damage he caused 3000 years ago, but they refuse. The Turtles, along with April, Casey, and Splinter, manage to get inside the tower. Winters is knocked out by his generals, but he quickly regains consciousness. He then reveals the truth to the heroes: he wants to return all 13 monsters to the portal so that he will be free of his curse of immortality. The Generals then reveal that they wish to preserve their immortality, but also to use the portal to bring in more monsters to finalize their conquest around the world. Having refused to betray Winters in exchange for immortality, April, Casey, and the Foot Clan decided to work together and search for the final monster while the Turtles fight off the Generals. As for Splinter and Winters, they fight off numerous other monsters emerging from the now open portal. After a long battle and a death-defying search, April, Casey, and Karai crash into the tower, with the thirteenth monster right behind them. The monster crashes into the Stone Generals, pushing them into the portal with it. The generals turn human again, screaming as they all disintegrate in the portal. The portal closes, and the heroes cheer in victory (while April and Casey kiss).

Karai warns them to enjoy their victory while it lasts, on grounds that they will soon contend with a familiar foe (implying the Shredder's return and a future sequel). She and the rest of the Foot Clan then depart. Winters, now mortal again, honors the Turtles and Splinter, thanks them for the fulfillment of his wish, and disintegrates away before their eyes to a peaceful afterlife. Later, Splinter proudly places Winter's helmet among his trophy collection, as well as Raphael's "Nightwatcher" helmet and Michelangelo's turtle costume. The collection also includes items from the previous films, including Shredder's helmet, the broken canister of the mutagenic "ooze" which gave the Turtles and Splinter their present forms, and the Time Scepter. An epilogue narrated by Raph's voice then shows the Turtles unitedly patrolling New York City, and concludes the film with the much-repeated catchphrase "I love being a turtle!".
