In 1994, an unlikely duo – tech whiz Noah (Anthony Ramos) and museum artifact researcher Elena (Dominique Fishback) – are swept up in an ancient extra-terrestrial conflict between the heroic Autobots and the ruthless Terrorcons. Under the guidance of Autobot leader Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen), and aided by a part-animal, part-robot Transformer subspecies known as the Maximals, they embark on an action-packed, globetrotting mission to defeat the most formidable threat to the existence of mankind yet.

Inspired by the success of 2018’s 80s-set Bumblebee spin-off, this back-to-basics sequel takes the saga in an exciting new direction, which is no mean feat for the seventh film in any franchise. And what’s a new Transformers movie without a bunch of inventive new bots voiced by A-list actors? Count Peter Dinklage, Ron Perlman, Pete Davidson and Michelle Yeoh among the new recruits.
