After escaping captivity, the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald begins rallying followers to his cause, seeking to establish wizarding supremacy over all non-magical beings. The only one with the power to stop him is his former closest friend, Albus Dumbledore. Unable to confront Grindelwald himself, Dumbledore enlists the help of magizoologist Newt Scamander, who previously foiled the dark wizard’s plans. Unaware of the treacherous path ahead, Newt and his allies embark on a perilous mission where alliances will be tested, friendships will fracture, and the wizarding world teeters on the edge of war.
