Several years after their original triumph, the Ghostbusters find their reputations diminished and their business shuttered, until a mysterious river of ectoplasmic slime flowing beneath New York rekindles a wave of supernatural disturbances. As specters grow bolder and strange psychic forces spread through the city, the familiar team — cynical wisecracks, earnest science, and skeptical practicality in tow — must reunite to confront a new, more sinister threat. The film balances slapstick encounters with ghostly goop and pulse-pounding chases with quieter moments of character and community, as the city’s fate becomes entwined with the crew’s return to action.
Re-armed with proton packs and renewed camaraderie, the Ghostbusters race to understand the paranormal surge and protect innocent civilians caught in the chaos, including a familiar ally whose life is threatened by the malevolent force behind the slime. Through inventive ghostbusting set pieces, heartfelt teamwork, and big-city spectacle, they rally the public and restore hope, proving that even when the odds — and the ectoplasm — seem impossible, a mix of courage, humor, and friendship can save the day.
