Sid finds himself in an unexpected dilemma when his family abandons both him and his elderly Granny. This situation leaves him vulnerable and adds a layer of comedy to his character's journey.

Manny discovers Peaches is spending time with a disreputable group of teenage mammoths. Their disagreement escalates into a heated argument, deepening the rift between father and daughter.

A sudden continental break-up occurs due to Scrat's obsession with his acorn traps. This geological event traps Manny, Sid, Diego, and Granny on floating ice chunks, separating them from Ellie and Peaches.

Left on mainland, Peaches grapples with guilt over her argument with Manny. She recognizes that their recent conflict weighs heavily on her, prompting her to reflect on family bonds.

Ellie and the remaining animals face a serious threat as a land shift creates a dangerous situation. Under Ellie's leadership, they must find a way to cross to safety using a precarious land bridge.

Meanwhile, Scrat stumbles upon a broken acorn that leads him to a mysterious map of 'Scratlantis.' His curiosity drives him to embark on a perilous quest to find this mythical city.

Manny and his crew are captured by a gang of pirates led by Captain Gutt. This encounter leads to a tense standoff as Gutt demands they join his crew, forcing Manny to resist and fight for their freedom.

Manny and his friends make a daring escape from Gutt's clutches, which results in the pirates losing their ship and supplies. During this chaos, they rescue Shira, Gutt's abandoned first mate, adding a twist to their journey.

At Switchback Cove, Manny devises a plan to free enslaved hyraxes and commandeer the pirates' ship. Tensions rise as Diego tries to convince Shira to leave her life as a pirate behind, leading to a poignant choice.

Peaches befriends a group of teenage mammoths, only to discover they are dismissive of real danger. This realization prompts her to confront her so-called friends, solidifying her understanding of true loyalty.

Upon returning home, Manny's crew encounters a gang of sirens, predatory mudskippers that lure their prey. A fierce battle ensues, testing their resolve and teamwork in the face of danger.

Gutt captures Ellie and Peaches, leading to a desperate rescue attempt by Louis. Just as hope seems lost, Granny's pet whale, Precious, intervenes, aiding in the battle against Gutt's crew.

In a climactic duel atop an ice floe, Manny faces off against Gutt. As the battle unfolds, Peaches emerges as a hero, saving Ellie during the chaos, and ultimately, Manny prevails over Gutt.

After defeating Gutt, Peaches reconciles with both her parents and Louis, bringing the family back together. Meanwhile, Scrat's adventure ends in a catastrophic flood, leading him to a desolate desert.
