Arnold is Nickelodeon's football-headed, untucked-shirted, city-living, stickball-playing kid toon star. Arnold lives in his grandparents' boarding house with a group of eccentric grown-ups who don't always get along. Together with his cool-as-ice best pal Gerald, tough-as-nails Helga the girl who both hates and loves him and the rest of the gang from the neighbourhood, Arnold tackles life in the big city the best way a wise-beyond-his-years fourth-grader knows how. In this film, Arnold goes up against a powerful industrialist who invades the city and buys everything in sight so he can knock it down and erect a huge “mall-plex.” Can Arnold and his best friend Gerald find the document that can stop the bulldozers?
