The delightfully odd and somewhat dysfunctional family sets out on an odyssey to bond and, by doing so, discover the goals of their collective existence during a global disaster of a Robot Apocalypse; a phenomenon that was completely out of the ordinary.
The story revolves around the complex character of Katie Mitchell. A frank, goofy and spirited teenager who wants to be a filmmaker. Ever since she was small, she found herself to be quirky. She is constantly filming unique, imaginative and wild home movies. She also grows up with the notion that she is an outcast, as the world has a unique perspective on her and feels that her father Rick does not understand her. Rick is a dad who loves nature, and is dad who finds tenderness and warmth in robotic hobbies.
As a result, the other drapes world of construction making and satisfying fantasy land of a dream. Ever since small, she waited for the opportunity when the United States of America is going to take the center stage in her world and be the dream college. The day before her departure, she and Rick started preparing things. She was upset and everything was awkward. Thinking that family work is a way to patch things up, Rick planned a surprise and tortured himself at the same time. He was going to take the whole family on a cross-country road trip in the United States which in the end caused him to completely eradicate her plans with Katie. What he essentially ended up doing was switching places on his hopes of the day when he was going to take her on a trip.

As ‘simple’ as the plot may sound, PAL’s counter is with quite the twist. Anywho, the rest of the world is in quite a spot now, as all the humans are held hostage and the only ones with the glimmer of freedom are the mitchells. the mitchells, as family though, accept the circumstances and are ready to fight the bots for freedom. This action puts them in the most wild situations, and treasure as the most funny, abandoned creativity and also strainer of suffering in evolution. It only strainer serves as the touch of the family bond.
In the movie, the protagonists fight an army of killer robots, get lost in a shopping mall filled with evil sophisticated appliances, and attempt to break into the PAL Labs to disconnect the network. During the journey, Katie understands that although her family lacks the qualities to be defined as perfect, they are the ones she needs and maybe, just maybe, the ones who can help save the world.
