Flushed Away 🎥 2006 Movie Info

Plot Summary

Roddy St. James is a pet rat who lives in a large Kensington apartment. After his owners go on vacation, he takes advantage of being alone. That night, a sloppy sewer rat named Sid bursts out of the kitchen’s sink and decides to stay and watch the 2006 FIFA World Cup final. Imagining Sid taking over his life, Roddy demands Sid to leave, but Sid refuses and starts to treat him as a butler. He decides to take advantage of this and attempts to trick Sid into thinking that the apartment’s Jacuzzi-brand toilet is an actual Jacuzzi.

Despite being sloppy, Sid knows about toilets. He pretends to be tricked before pushing Roddy into the water and pulling the lever. After landing in London’s sewer, he discovers Ratropolis, a sewer city made out of various bits of junk, resembling London. A pirate rat tells him to find Rita Malone, an enterprising scavenger who works the drains in her boat, the Jammy Dodger and who might be able to send him home. Roddy and Rita are abducted by rats, Spike and Whitey and brought before their boss, the Toad, as Rita stole back a ruby that was scavenged by her father. The Toad has a deep hatred of rodents to the point of hateful obsession. He plans to have Roddy and Rita frozen with liquid nitrogen, but the pair escape.

Rita takes the ruby, and a unique electric master cable needed to control Ratropolis’ sewer floodgates. Roddy deduces that the ruby is actually a glass replica and easily breaks it, enraging Rita, who attacks him. Roddy offers Rita a real ruby from his apartment’s jewelry box if she takes him back to Kensington, to which she agrees. The pair stop to visit her family before setting off. During Roddy’s stay, Rita’s younger brother, Liam, proposes to her and their father that they give Roddy to the Toad in exchange for money.
