Japan Synopsis
“New Monsters. New Battles. Now on the Big Screen.”
When a powerful new Internet Digimon hatches and begins to consume data at an alarming rate, the Digidestined – kids chosen to save the digital world – must put an end to the destruction before the damage becomes irreversible and worldwide communication halts forever. As computer-based missiles are launched, and a wayward Digimon kidnaps the Digidestined, only the combined efforts of a worldwide network of kids and a new group of "Digidestined" can rescue the others and stop global disaster.
