Il signor e la Signora Fox vivono pacifici col figlioletto Ash e il nipotino Kristofferson, loro ospite, dentro un grande albero in cima alla collina che fronteggia gli stabilimenti dei più cattivi contadini della zona: Boggis, Bunce e Bean. Ma la natura selvatica del signor Fox gli impedisce di trovare soddisfazione come giornalista e lo spinge a cercare di far fessi i tre uomini e a saccheggiare i loro depositi. La vendetta è veloce e spietata e mette a repentaglio non solo la sua amata famiglia ma tutti gli animali del sottosuolo. Mr Fox dovrà elaborare dunque un nuovo e geniale piano per trarre tutti d'impaccio.
