The film begins with the news revealing that an Egyptian pyramid was stolen. When super-villain Gru (Steve Carell) heard of this, his pride is wounded and he plans to pull the biggest heist of the century by stealing the Moon.
Gru tries to get a loan from the Bank of Evil and meets a young super-villain named Vector (Jason Segel) who annoys him. However, the bank president Mr. Perkins (Will Arnett) refuses to grant Gru the loan until he obtains the shrink ray necessary for the plan. Mr. Perkins tells Gru that he is getting too old and the new super-villains are younger and better, like Vector who is revealed to be the one who stole the Pyramid of Giza.
Gru and his minions steal the shrink ray from a secret lab in East Asia, but Vector steals it from him and shrinks his ship. Gru attempts to get the shrink ray back from Vector's lair, but all his attempts to enter the lair prove futile. After seeing three orphaned girls, Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and, Agnes (Elsie Fisher) enter the lair to sell cookies to Vector. Gru adopts the girls from Miss Hattie (Kristen Wiig), the head of the orphanage, to use them to steal back the shrink ray. Gru has his assistant Dr. Nefario (Russell Brand), build robots disguised as cookies. He then has the girls sell the robots to Vector, and the robots helps Gru steal the shrink ray.
On the way home the girls ask to go to an amusement park. Gru agrees, intending to leave the girls there. Instead, he is needed to ride the roller coaster with them and ends up having fun with them. Back at home, he presents his plan to Mr. Perkins via video while being interrupted by the girls. Perkins again refuses to give him the loan, claiming that although he doesn't have a problem with the plan, he just wants a younger villain to do it instead. Gru has a flashback of his childhood, depicting his wanting to go to the moon after seeing the first moon landing. When he tried to impress his mother (Julie Andrews) with models of the rocket (and an actual working one), she just ignores it. Mr. Perkins calls Vector (revealed to be his son Victor) into his office to inform him that Gru has the shrink ray. He reassures his father that he will get the Moon. Gru almost abandons his plan due to lack of funds, but the girls and the minions take up a collection to keep it going.
However, Gru has to make a choice because the moon will be in the optimum position for the heist on the same day as the girls' ballet recital. Dr. Nefario, seeing the girls as a distraction, contacts Miss Hattie, who arrives to take the girls back. Gru, the minions, and the girls are heartbroken. Gru goes on with his plan and flies to the moon.
Gru successfully shrinks and pockets the Moon. Gru remembers the ballet recital and rushes to it. However, it has ended by the time he arrived. There, he finds a ransom note from Vector demanding the moon in exchange for the girls. After Gru hands over the moon, Vector reneges on the deal, keeping the girls and the moon. This enrages Gru, who storms Vector's lair, this time successfully breaching the defenses. Vector flies off in an escape pod with the girls. Gru holds on to the exterior of the ship. He nearly falls to his death, but is rescued by Dr. Nefario piloting the same ship that Vector shrunk before. Nefario reveals that the larger an object is, the faster the shrink ray's effects wear off. The quickly expanding moon frees the girls from their glass entrapment. Gru rescues the girls with the help of his minions, while the moon destroys Vector's ship and carries him into orbit.
Gru and the girls settle down to live a happy life as a family and Vector is stranded on the Moon with a minion who drank anti-gravity serum. The girls give a special ballet recital for Gru, his minions, and his mother, who finally tells him she is proud of him and acknowledges him to be a better parent. The music changes from Swan Lake to You Should Be Dancing, and everyone rushes on stage to dance as the film ends.
