Based on the children's book Mrs. Brisby and the Rats of NIMH, director Don Bluth's animated adventure chronicles the trials of a widowed field mouse (voiced by Elizabeth Hartman) who must move her family -- including an ailing son -- to escape a farmer's plow. Aided by a crow (Dom DeLuise) and a pack of superintelligent, escaped lab rats, the brave mother struggles to transplant her home to firmer ground.
