Plot Summary
Three years after the events of the first film, inventor Wayne Szalinski has moved to Nevada with his wife Diane and their children. Their older son Nick is now a 14-year-old teenager, their 18-year-old daughter Amy is preparing to leave for college, and their younger son, Adam, is two years old. When Diane leaves with Amy to help her settle into her college dorm, Wayne and Nick are left in charge of Adam. The three of them go to Sterling Labs, where Wayne has constructed a version of his shrink ray machine which enlarges objects. He tests it on Adam’s favorite toy, Big Bunny.
When Wayne and Nick are distracted, Adam is zapped by the machine, which short-circuits and does not enlarge Big Bunny. Back home, Adam and Big Bunny are exposed to electrical waves from the microwave oven and grow to a height of seven feet. Wayne and Nick take Adam back to the lab to reverse the growth process, but are kicked out by Wayne’s colleague, Dr. Charles Hendrickson, who wants control of Wayne’s invention. Diane returns home and joins Wayne and Nick as they struggle to prevent Adam from demolishing the house. In another attempt to shrink Adam back to normal size, Wayne and Diane retrieve Wayne’s original shrink ray machine from a warehouse.
Meanwhile, a girl named Mandy arrives to babysit Adam, but faints when she sees him. Nick, who has a crush on Mandy, ties up and gags her to prevent her from alerting the neighbors to Adam’s condition. As Nick explains the situation to Mandy, Adam is exposed to the television’s electrical waves and grows to fourteen feet before escaping through a wall. Nick and Mandy search for Adam, but are taken into custody, while Adam is confined in a truck. Wayne and Diane return home to find Hendrickson and a US Marshal waiting for them.
