Bumblebee is a sci-fi action film and a prequel to the Transformers series, set in 1987. It begins with the Autobot scout B-127 arriving on Earth after a devastating battle on Cybertron. He crash-lands during a military training exercise, where he’s hunted and injured by both Decepticons and humans. Damaged and voiceless, he hides in the form of a yellow Volkswagen Beetle in a California junkyard.

Teenager Charlie Watson, still grieving the loss of her father, discovers the car and takes it home. On her 18th birthday, she unknowingly reactivates B-127, who reveals himself to be a robot. Frightened at first, Charlie soon realizes he’s kind-hearted and gives him the nickname “Bumblebee.” As their friendship grows, she helps him adjust to Earth while trying to keep him hidden from her family and the military.

However, the peace doesn’t last. Two Decepticons, Shatter and Dropkick, arrive on Earth, pretending to help the U.S. government track down a “dangerous fugitive”—Bumblebee. The military, led by Agent Burns (played by John Cena), unknowingly aids the villains. As the Decepticons uncover a way to bring their army to Earth, Bumblebee and Charlie must stop them before it’s too late.

In a thrilling final battle, Bumblebee defeats the Decepticons and proves his loyalty to Earth. Charlie learns to move on from her grief, and Bumblebee prepares for his next mission, eventually transforming into his iconic Camaro form. The film ends with a hopeful tone, setting the stage for the Transformers saga. Bumblebee was praised for its emotional story, retro 80s vibe, and focus on character over spectacle.
