Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows#Critical response

A year after stopping Shredder,{{efn|As depicted in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014).}} which Vern Fenwick was mutually credited for, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are informed by April O'Neil that scientist Baxter Stockman is working for Shredder and plans to bust him out of prison. As the Shredder is transferred between prisons alongside Bebop and Rocksteady by corrections officer Casey Jones, the Foot Clan attacks their convoy. Despite the Turtles' interference, Shredder escapes when Stockman uses a teleportation device. Shredder is hijacked mid-teleport, winds up in another dimension, and meets the alien warlord Krang, who reveals his plans to invade Earth. He gives Shredder a mutagenic compound in exchange for reassembling the Technodrome, a powerful war machine that he sent to Earth long ago which will open a portal to his dimension, as Shredder and Stockman already have the first piece and must collect the other two. Casey tells NYPD chief Rebecca Vincent and his superior what happened to Shredder, but is met with disbelief before they effectively suspend him, and decides to go after Shredder on his own.

Shredder recruits Bebop and Rocksteady, and Stockman uses Krang's mutagen to transform them into a humanoid warthog and rhinoceros, respectively. April witnesses their transformation and steals the remaining mutagen vial from the TCRI lab. Pursued by the Foot, she is rescued by Casey, who later meets the Turtles, but the vial is taken into police custody. In the lair, Donatello deduces that the mutagen could be used to turn the Turtles into humans, but Leonardo refuses and orders Donnie to keep it a secret from the others. However, Michelangelo overhears and tells Raphael, which enrages Raph and leads to a fierce argument between him and Leo. Raph then recruits Mikey, April, Casey, and Vern to break into the NYPD headquarters and retrieve the mutagen, but the Foot arrives ahead of them. In the ensuing battle, the turtles' existence is revealed to the police, who start a manhunt for them, and April and Casey are arrested while helping the brothers escape with the mutagen.

After recovering the second component of the machine, Bebop and Rocksteady go to the rainforests of Manaus, for the final component. The turtles follow them and board Bebop and Rocksteady's jet in midair. In the resulting battle, the jet is critically damaged after Rocksteady inadvertently fires a tank-mounted Mark 19 grenade launcher, and crashes into a river, though Bebop and Rocksteady are ultimately able to escape with the component. Shredder and Stockman complete the device and open a portal to Krang's dimension through which the Technodrome begins to emerge; Shredder then betrays Stockman by having his men take him to their headquarters in Tokyo. When entering the Technodrome, Krang likewise betrays Shredder, freezing him and locking him with his collection of other defeated foes.

Unable to reach the Technodrome as the police are searching for them, the Turtles debate over taking the mutagen to become human and fight openly. While Leo agrees, Raph shatters the vial. Upon April's request, Vern recovers the security footage from a hidden TCRI camera that proves Stockman and the Shredder's collaboration, and secures April and Casey's release. April arranges a meeting between the Turtles and Vincent, and convinces her that they are not enemies. With the help of the police, the Turtles are able to jump from the Chrysler Building and confront Krang aboard the still-assembling Technodrome. Krang is defeated when Donnie short circuits his robotic body. April, Casey, and Vern raid the Foot Clan facility, defeat Bebop, Rocksteady and the Shredder's lieutenant Karai and take control of the device. The Turtles are able to hurl the ship's beacon back through the portal, taking Krang and the rest of the Technodrome with it, as April, Casey, and Vern shut the portal down.

Bebop and Rocksteady are back in custody, while Stockman remains at large. The Turtles are honored by Vincent and the NYPD along with April, Casey, and Vern before Vincent offers to introduce the Turtles to the public, but they prefer to keep their existence a secret while still helping as they always have. On top of the Statue of Liberty, the Turtles celebrate their victory over the vanquished Krang.
