An anthropomorphic sausage named Frank (voiced by Rogen) lives in a supermarket with various other food items and products, who all hope and pray to be picked by a happy customer. When a woman comes in and purchases Frank and several others, the foods are delighted when they are taken home and believed to be fulfilling their destiny. However, this "destiny" [[DeadlyEuphemism turns out to be]] [[EatenAlive what you expect it to be.]] After Frank is told the true nature of food, he must devise a plan to help himself and his surviving food buddies escape and discover the meaning of his and all of foods' existence, and all on the run from his true enemy, a ruthless douche (literally!) hell-bent on murdering him and all of his friends.

''Sausage Party'' is a 2016 [[AllCGICartoon CGI-animated]] feature film that has the dubious honor of being the first R-rated, completely-CGI feature-length film ever produced[[note]](the OverlyNarrowSuperlative is because it is neither the first adult-oriented animated feature film -- 1972's ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat'' has that honor -- or the first computer-animated film to be rated R -- that would be 1999's ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'')[[/note]]. It is a co-production of Point Grey Pictures, Creator/AnnapurnaPictures, [[Creator/{{Nitrogen}} Nitrogen Studios Canada]], and Creator/ColumbiaPictures.
