In the countryside of Yorkshire, a flock of chickens live on an egg farm structured like a prisoner-of-war camp, led by the rebellious Ginger. When American rooster Rocky Rhodes crashes on their farm, the chickens devise a plan to escape with his help, despite learning he's not capable of flying. Inspired by Rocky's antics, Ginger and her friends build a plane and execute a daring escape from the oppressive farm, outsmarting the cruel Mrs Tweedy and her henpecked husband in the process.
