Lucas Nickle (Zach Tyler) is the new kid in town and the local bully, Steve (Myles Jeffrey), makes sure he knows it. Lucas gets so fed up with being bullied, he takes out his frustration on ants in his backyard, like squirting them with his garden hose or stomping on the ant hill. The ants are understandably fed up with this, and Zoc (Nicolas Cage), the ant wizard, uses a potion to shrink him down to ant size. Lucas is sentenced to hard labor in the ruins and learns to be more compassionate to ants. He becomes an ant friend, then must become an ant hero when Stan Beals (Paul Giamatti), the local pest control guy, who's an even bigger bully, comes to wipe out the entire colony. An "ants versus pest control" battle ensues and Zoc reluctantly accepts that Lucas may be the ants' only chance of survival.
