Watch:

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts ushers in a new chapter in the Transformers franchise, blending the classic Autobots vs. Decepticons war with the ancient, mystical world of the Maximals, Predacons, and Terrorcons. Set in 1994, the film introduces a fresh, dynamic set of characters, both human and robotic, as they become caught in an epic struggle for survival.

The story follows Noah Diaz (Anthony Ramos), an ex-military electronics expert who’s struggling to find work to support his family in Brooklyn. Noah’s life takes a dramatic turn when he becomes inadvertently involved with the Autobots, led by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen).

After a series of fateful events, Noah is drawn into a battle that spans the globe and pits him against new, formidable foes—the predatory Terrorcons and the ancient, powerful Maximals. These new Transformers have emerged from the hidden depths of the Cybertronian history, now entangled in a desperate race to find a mysterious artifact of great power.

Alongside Noah is Elena (Dominique Fishback), an artifact researcher who, after encountering the Autobots, learns that their fates are tied to the discovery of this ancient artifact known as the Transwarp Key. The key is the only device that can either reshape or destroy the universe.

The Maximals, including the fierce and noble Optimus Primal (Ron Perlman), have a crucial role to play in protecting the key from falling into the wrong hands. Led by the Terrorcon scourge Scourge (Peter Dinklage), who is bent on using the artifact’s power to conquer both Earth and Cybertron, the new battle for survival begins.

As Noah and Elena team up with the Autobots and Maximals, including fan favorites like Bumblebee and Mirage (Liza Koshy), they race against time to prevent Scourge and his forces from unleashing an apocalyptic force. The stakes grow higher as the Autobots and Maximals face overwhelming odds and fierce battles across New York, Peru’s hidden Incan ruins, and beyond. The movie combines exhilarating action, cutting-edge CGI, and heart-pounding sequences, all while showcasing the deep bond between humans and Transformers.
