Transformers


Plot


Several thousand years ago, the planet Cybertron was consumed by a civil war between the two Transformer factions, the Autobots led by Optimus Prime and the Decepticons led by Megatron. Optimus jettisoned the Allspark, a mystical artifact that brings life to the planet and non-biological forms, into space, but Megatron pursued it. Megatron crashed onto Earth, landing in the Arctic Circle and froze, and was discovered in 1895 by explorer Captain Archibald Witwicky. Witwicky inadvertently activated Megatron's navigational system, which etched the Allspark's coordinates into his glasses. The glasses eventually end up in the possession of his great-great-grandson Sam.

In the present, a Decepticon named Blackout attacks and destroys a United States military base in Qatar in a failed attempt to hack the military network to find information on Megatron and the AllSpark. A surviving team of Army Rangers led by Captain William Lennox escape across the desert, pursued by Blackout's drone Scorponok. They fight Scorponok off, aided by aerial reinforcements, and travel home with Scorponok's stinger, discovering sabot rounds damaged its armor. At the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense John Keller leads the investigation into the attack. Data analyst Maggie Madsen catches another Decepticon, Frenzy, hacking into the military network while onboard Air Force One. While the hack is thwarted, Frenzy downloads files on Archibald's glasses, tracking down Sam with Barricade, disguised as a Saleen S281 police car. Maggie makes a copy of the audio signal made during the hacking attempt and goes to her hacker friend Glen Whitmann to decode the signal, but is promptly arrested by the FBI, then captured by Sam's friends Alex and Jay, and taken away to Alex's house.

Meanwhile, Sam buys his first car, a rusting 1976 Chevrolet Camaro, but discovers it has a life of its own. Sam and his high school crush Mikaela Banes are rescued from Barricade and Frenzy by the Camaro, who turns out to be the Autobot scout Bumblebee, who has to communicate through his car radio due to being mute. Bumblebee later scans a 2006 Camaro and transforms into a duplicate of it. Bumblebee takes Sam and Mikaela to meet Optimus Prime, Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet. Optimus explains that if Megatron gains the AllSpark, he will transform Earth's machinery into a new army and exterminate mankind. Sam, Mikaela, and the Autobots travel to Sam's house to retrieve the glasses, but they are captured by agents of Sector Seven, a top-secret paramilitary government branch, led by Agent Seymour Simmons. The Autobots stop the agents but they call for backup, who take Sam, Mikaela, and Bumblebee into custody, though Optimus obtains the glasses and uses them to locate the Allspark.

The humans connected to the Transformers are gathered together at Hoover Dam by Sector Seven's director Tom Banachek, who reveals Megatron, still frozen, and the Allspark. Frenzy, having smuggled away in Mikaela's bag and disguised himself as her phone, disables Megatron's cryonics system and contacts Starscream, Megatron's second-in-command and acting leader of the Decepticons, who in turn summons Blackout, Barricade, Brawl, and Bonecrusher, the latter being killed by Optimus on a highway. Bumblebee is released to protect the Allspark, shrinking it to a handheld size so it can be transported to safety. Megatron escapes the dam after thawing out. Frenzy is decapitated by his own ricocheting shuriken in the ensuing battle as Keller, Maggie, Glen and Simmons call for aerial support.

A battle between the Autobots and Decepticons breaks out in nearby Mission City, during which Jazz, Blackout, and Brawl are killed. Megatron prevents Sam's attempted escape with the Allspark. Optimus arrives to protect Sam and engages in a battle against Megatron, with the latter getting the upper hand until Sam instead rams the Allspark into Megatron's chest, destroying it and killing him.

Optimus salvages a shard of the Allspark from Megatron's mangled corpse. The United States government shuts down Sector Seven and disposes of the dead Decepticons in the Laurentian Abyss. Sam and Mikaela then start a romantic relationship while the Autobots secretly hide out on Earth, and Optimus sends a transmission into space inviting any surviving Autobots to join them.

A brief mid-credits scene shows Starscream escaping into space.

the guardian brothers

Plot A long time ago,  Guardian spirits  helped humans with their problems. Humans would leave posters of the spirits on their doors to allow the spirits access. As time moved on, humanity grew less dependent on the spirits until the connection was eventually forgotten by all but a few. Raindrop and her mother, Luli, go to visit her grandmother's shop, which is a traditional soup shop that has been using the same recipe for generations. Raindrop explores the shop and plays with her grandmother's music box while her grandmother talks about her own grandmother meeting the spirits. The family sits down to have soup together, as the grandmother gives out a small, sad smile, revealing that she is dying. Before the grandmother passes away a day later, her last wish was for Raindrop and Luli to look after the failing soup shop. The mother and daughter sends a floating lantern with the grandmother's music box attached to it, into the spirit world, where it gets caught in the branch...

Plot The Viking village of Berk is frequently attacked by  dragons , which steal livestock and endanger the villagers.
