Blue Blur Meets the Final Frontier
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 rockets into theaters with more thrills, bigger stakes, and a multiverse of speed. Following the critical and fan-favorite success of Sonic 3, this sequel brings back Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and new allies in an epic clash that spans dimensions.
Directed by Jeff Fowler and featuring a mix of action, heart, and nostalgia, Sonic 4 introduces the franchise’s most dangerous threat yet — Infinite, a powerful villain who bends reality itself.
The Story
After defeating Robotnik once and for all, peace has returned to Green Hills… until a mysterious rift opens in space-time, unleashing distorted versions of familiar zones and a new enemy: Infinite, a reality-warping warrior created by remnants of Robotnik's A.I. legacy.
Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) and his team must team up with Silver the Hedgehog, a hero from a broken future, to stop Infinite from collapsing all timelines into one chaotic realm.
But to win, Sonic must confront his darkest fears — and make the ultimate sacrifice to save the multiverse.
