Taglines: He came. He saw. They conquered.
In the wilderness of Oregon, a prairie dog screams after Riggs’ (Rob Riggle) car passes by and throws a cigar at it. This causes an unnamed raccoon to signal a mink to release a boulder that pushes Riggs’ car down a cliff. After that, the raccoon throws the cigar back to Riggs, who yells “you’re a bad raccoon!”. The raccoon then blows the car down the cliff.
Riggs quits Mr. Lyman’s company, so a real estate developer from Chicago, Dan Sanders (Brendan Fraser), is brought in as his replacement. He is given the task of turning the forest into a residential development by his boss Neal Lyman (Ken Jeong). This all transpires much to the objections of Dan’s son, Tyler (Matt Prokop), who discovers that Rocky Springs is a forest reserve.
He warns his father that “many have tried to conquer it but they all fail”. His wife Tammy (Brooke Shields) is unhappy in Rocky Springs, she misses her life in Chicago. Unfortunately for Dan, the animals, who are led by the raccoon refuse to sit back and watch their forest be destroyed. They manage to turn the tables on him by disturbing his progress, interrupting his meetings, and humiliating him. So Dan signs orders to have a forest ranger capture and cage all the animals.
Meanwhile Tammy is forced to plan an “eco-friendly” fair with a senile teacher (Alice Drummond) at the high school which is sponsored by Lyman’s company. Although the Sanders are ignorant to the fact that Lyman and his company are actually not eco-friendly. Instead Lyman plans to cut down the forest to build houses and a shopping mall “with a forest theme”.
Dan figuring this out decides to set the animals free. Once released the raccoon and his friends immediately wreak havoc on the eco-fair, causing the guests and entertainers to flee. Lyman accidentally tranquilizes Mr. Gupta, who attempts to break their deal. He flees into a “worm tunnel” with the animals in close pursuit. The animals began attacking him, as a bear drives a golf cart (pulling the tunnel) away into a bush.
