Plot Summary
The battle for Earth begins when two warring factions of alien robots—the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons—arrive on the planet in search of the AllSpark, a powerful artifact capable of creating life.
Teenager Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) unknowingly holds the key to the artifact’s location, passed down through his great-grandfather’s discoveries. As Sam and his crush Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox) get caught in the middle of the war, they realize that their only hope for survival lies with the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen).
Meanwhile, Megatron (voiced by Hugo Weaving) and his army of Decepticons will stop at nothing to seize the AllSpark and take control of Earth. With the U.S. military struggling to keep up with these advanced alien warriors, Sam must step up and embrace his role in the fight for humanity’s survival.
What follows is an explosive showdown between metal titans, with Earth caught in the crossfire.
