The family, we understand, is preparing for moving day, which for Gracie, who is a purebred pampered pooch, handpicked by Mom for her pedigree, and poise, does not bring about any concern, but for Pedro, moving day is always a reminder of being abandoned as a kitten. Gracie explains when he becomes anxious that those days of abandonment are over, and it won't happen here, you're one of the family.
So, moving day finally arrives, and as the driver is parking the van he backs over one of the animal carriers, and now Gracie and Pedro are forced to share one small pet carrier. Soon, they are headed to the luggage compartment, a no man's land maze of crisscrossing conveyor belts and sleeping attendants. Suddenly, a mechanical mishap creates uncontrollable chaos, with bags flying, and belts breaking, until their cage hits the bottom, pops open, and they realize they have missed their flight.
Now, only knowing they must get to Salt Lake City, the pair who are more comfortable bickering, have got to work together. With Gracie's intelligence and Pedro's street smarts, the two begin the long journey of finding their way home.
The Duel Review – Strong Character-Driven Performances Carry this Lackluster Effort
Forgetting that to the world they are now just a pair of abandoned strays, the pair believe they can ask for help, and help will be given without a price. They soon find out, for strays, that nothing is free, and even advice has a price
Still wearing their collars, the two dirty rats they meet, Wade and Rasputin, voiced by Ron Pardo and John Stocker, explain if you want directions on how to get home, we need the bling. So, now the horror of being a lost, stray, pet is sinking in as Gracie and Pedro both give up their collars.
The rats may have charged them, but they pointed them in the right direction. Soon Gracie and Pedro were running for the bus as it was leaving the station and didn't bother to confirm it was going to Salt Lake, and that's when we realized they got on the wrong bus.
This bus is heading for Las Vegas, the city of dreams or as the pair are told, where dreams go to die, and now they are on a bus of magicians with a jazzy, sultry, martini-drinking, celebrity white rabbit, voiced by Susan Sarandon, giving them the low down on the highs and lows of Las Vegas.

What follows is a thrilling adventure, as the pair experience the gambler's high and disastrous fall of Las Vegas, which has them running for their lives only to be lost in the desert where they stumble upon a two-headed kitten-eating rattlesnake, and just when it seems like our frenemies are lost for good, they catch a ride on a caring stallion and hop a train north. Unfortunately, the box car is owned by a dangerous vulture, and the pair find themselves once again facing their most dangerous prey yet.
Entertaining for the entire family, Gracie and Pedro: Mission Impossible, is a fun-filled, delightful adventure that reveals that friendship is not only life's greatest reward but also its most awesome adventure!
