Plot

A man named Tim Templeton tells a story about his imaginative seven-year-old self and his parents, Ted and Janice. One day, Tim is surprised when an infant wearing a business suit arrives at his house in a taxi, and Ted and Janice refer to him as Tim’s little brother. Tim is envious of the attention the day-old baby receives, and suspicious because of the infant’s clothes and strange behavior around Tim, but his parents are oblivious.

Soon, Tim learns that the baby can talk like an adult, and he introduces himself as “The Boss”. Seeing an opportunity to get rid of him, Tim decides to use a cassette tape to record a conversation between Boss Baby and other toddlers who are at Tim’s house for a meeting, under the guise of a play date in the eyes of the parents. In this meeting, Boss Baby explains that puppies have been receiving more love than babies and is in search of a new file containing evidence of a new puppy Puppy Co., a company that launches new products of dogs, intends to release. Before they can finish, they catch Tim spying on them. A chase ensues, and the cassette tape is terminated by a passing automobile after Boss Baby threatens to tear up Tim’s favorite stuffed animal, Lam-Lam. Tim tries to slingshot the Boss Baby out of a window, but his parents catch him in the act. With no evidence to support him, Tim’s parents ground him for an indefinite period of time until his rivalry with Boss Baby turns into a friendship.

Boss Baby apologizes to Tim and has him suck on a pacifier that transports them to Baby Corp., a place where infants with adult-like minds work to preserve infant love everywhere. Boss Baby explains that he was sent to see why puppies are being loved more than infants and that he has infiltrated Tim’s residence because his parents work for Puppy Co., which will unleash the new puppy on a pet convention in Las Vegas. Boss Baby remains intelligent by drinking a “Secret Baby Formula”, which enables a baby to act mature; however, should a baby not drink it after period of time, he or she becomes a regular baby. When they overhear Boss Baby’s boss threatening to fire him for not bringing in information, which would strip him of his formula and strand him at the Templetons, he and Tim agree to work together to prevent that.

Tim’s parents undo his punishment and take the brothers to Puppy Co. for take your child to work day. While there, they slip away and find what they assume is the plans for a “Forever Puppy”, but they are captured by the company’s founder and CEO, Francis E. Francis. They discover that Francis used to be the head of Baby Corp., and whom Boss Baby idolizes. Francis reveals that he intends to have the Forever Puppies overshadow babies by stealing Boss Baby’s serum bottle and injecting the puppies with it as revenge for being fired from Baby Corp., since it was discovered that his secret formula stopped working due to his lactose intolerance. Tim’s parents go with Francis to Vegas, and Francis has his brother Eugene pose as Tim and Boss Baby’s babysitter to keep them from interfering.

Without a steady flow of formula to maintain his intelligence, Boss Baby starts becoming a normal baby. Despite this, with the help of other toddlers, he and Tim evade the “babysitter” long enough to reach the airport but are too late to intercept Tim’s parents. The two argue, but later reconcile and sneak on to another plane bound for Las Vegas. There, they stall Francis’ presentation when Eugene unwittingly gives away their plan. Furious at their interference, Francis locks Tim’s parents up so he can kill them with exhaust from a rocket used to launch the Forever Puppies. Tim and Boss Baby defeat Eugene and move on to save their parents but are intercepted by Francis. Tim and Boss Baby push him off a ledge, making Francis tumble into the formula. Boss Baby opens the rocket to let the puppies out so they can save Tim’s parents. His return to baby state is complete while on the rocket, and begins to cry, but Tim sings to him with the family song to show his appreciation, causing him to jump off the rocket before it launches. After the rocket does launch, Tim takes Boss Baby to the formula vat and he returns to his original self. Francis then emerges from the vat, having been reverted to an obese baby and tries to attack Boss Baby, but is picked up by a redeemed Eugene and tells Tim and Boss Baby that, “This time, we’ll raise him right.”

Boss Baby is promoted and leaves, while the parents have their memories be erased of him so they wouldn’t become suspicious. Tim goes back to being an only child, but he and Boss Baby, having bonded with each other during their mission, begin to miss each other. After Tim writes a letter convincing him to live with him as his brother, Boss Baby returns to the Templeton family as a regular baby named Theodore Lindsey “Ted” Templeton. In the present, an adult Tim finishes telling his daughter Tabitha[a] the story about how he felt when his brother was born, to calm her worries about her recently-born sister, Tina,[b] whom she notices that her sister is also another Boss Baby like Ted was.
