Magizoologist Newt Scamander arrives in New York City with a case full of fantastical beasts. When a handful escape, Newt must race to recapture them before they wreak havoc on the unsuspecting No-Maj (non-magical) population. Navigating the rigid wizarding hierarchy, Newt teams up with a quirky aspiring baker and a conflicted Auror to track down the creatures, all while evading a powerful dark force that threatens to expose the magical world. In the end, Newt must choose between his creatures and the fate of the city.
