Hunt and his team must infiltrate the exchange to prevent the payload falling into the hands of Lane’s deranged disciples.

COMPUTER-ANIMATED sequel. Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez) organises a surprise holiday for her nearest and dearest including her father Dracula (Adam Sandler), husband Jonathan (Andy Samberg), six-year-old son Dennis (Asher Blinkoff ) and grandfather Vlad (Mel Brooks). Mavis secretly arranges a voyage to the lost city of Atlantis aboard a luxury cruise liner. “It’s a hotel... on water,” retorts her unimpressed father.
