As their chickens are producing fewer eggs, Mrs. Tweedy comes up with the idea of converting their product from eggs to chicken pies, and orders a large automatic pie maker. One chicken, Ginger, has long had visions of escaping with the help of her hen friends Babs, Bunty, and Mac, and two rats, Nick and Fetcher, who help to acquire "contraband" from the Tweedy's to aid Ginger's plans. However, she is always caught and put into solitary confinement for some time. During one such escapade, she learns of Mrs. Tweedy's plan, and hastens her attempts to flee the camp. While thinking of a new plan, Ginger witnesses a Rhode Island Red rooster fly over the fence, and crash into one of the coops, breaking his wing. Ginger and the other chickens help to hide him from the Tweedys and care for his wing, learning that his name is Rocky. Ginger is particularly interested in Rocky's ability to fly, and begs him to help train her and the other chickens to do the same. Rocky is coy, but proceeds to try to help train the chickens, unable to fully demonstrate due to his broken wing. The pie making machine finally arrives and after some time, Mr. Tweedy completes the assembly and immediately goes for Ginger to test it out. Rocky is able to save Ginger and helps to damage the machine, giving the chickens only a short time to plan to escape while Mr. Tweedy repairs it. Amid the training, Rocky holds a large party to help relieve the stress, where it is revealed his wing is healed, and Ginger demands he show them how to fly the next day. When morning arrives, Ginger finds Rocky has fled, leaving behind a part of a poster that shows him to be a stunt rooster, shot out of a cannon from a nearby American circus, and unable to fly on his own. Ginger and the other chickens are depressed. Fowler the rooster tries to cheer Ginger up by telling tales from his days as an RAF mascot, leading Ginger to the idea of creating an airplane to flee the Tweedy's. All the chickens with extra help from the rats secretly construct the required parts for the plane from their coops while racing against Mr. Tweedy's repairs. Meanwhile, Rocky, traveling the countryside, sees a billboard for Mrs. Tweedy's Chicken Pies, and is inspired to go back to help. With the machine fixed, Mrs. Tweedy demands Mr. Tweedy to get all the chickens, but the chickens are ready to escape. They knock Mr. Tweedy out, and tie him up and distract the dogs long enough to complete assembly of their plane. Just before they take off Rocky returns and joins them. As they are taking off, Mrs. Tweedy chases them down and catches onto a Christmas light strand caught in the wheels. Mrs. Tweedy climbs the strand, intent on chopping Ginger's head off, while Ginger races to sever the strand. Ginger does so in time, and sends Mrs. Tweedy straight into the vent of the pie machine, causing it to explode, the force of the escaping gravy knocking down the barn they had constructed it in. Later, the chickens have found a quiet glade where they can enjoy their freedom and raise their chicks, while Ginger and Rocky have developed a romantic relationship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chicken Run」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
