Movie Plot Summary

From the makers of "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda," "Turbo" is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an underdog snail whose dreams kick into overdrive when he miraculously attains the power of super-speed. But after making fast friends with a crew of streetwise, tricked-out es-car-goes, Turbo learns that no one succeeds on their own. So he puts his heart and shell on the line to help his pals achieve their dreams, before Turbo-charging his own impossible dream: winning the Indy 500.

All his life, Theo the garden snail has lived a slow lane life with dreams of speed at the Indy 500. Suddenly, a freak mishap gives him the ability to move at superspeed, which puts Theo and his brother at a failing strip mall. They are discovered by Tito, a goofy fast food worker, and his crew of racing snails, and a wild idea is born for Theo to race with his heroes in Indianapolis. Now, this gang of misfits are traveling to that city to dare pursue the impossible dream, which will require all of Theo's speed as Turbo to have any shot at achieving.

A snail named Theo is unhappy that he's slow. When he watches car races on TV, he wishes he could as fast as them and renames himself Turbo. One day through a series of mishaps, he ends up on a car that's in the middle of a street race. He gets sucked into the engine and when the driver hits the nitrous oxide which makes the car go faster, he gets doused with it. He gets out and discovers he can move fast. Eventually he and another snail, Chet get picked up by a guy who and some other people race snails. When they see how fast he is, they decide to enter him in the Indy 500 which is what Turbo wants.
