Discover a new side of the Transformers universe

Transformers One isn’t just another Transformers movie — it’s the untold origin story we’ve all been waiting for. Ever wonder how Optimus Prime and Megatron went from besties to bitter enemies? This film takes us all the way back to the beginning, to the distant planet of Cybertron, long before our favorite robots-in-disguise made their way to Earth. You'll be immersed in an extraordinary adventure that transforms their lives — and the future of the Transformers — forever.

(And did we mention it’s rated PG? Perfect for a family movie night!)

An all-star team behind the magic

Directed by Josh Cooley — the same genius behind Toy Story 4 Transformers One brings a fresh, exciting twist to the Transformers saga with mind-blowing animation and a story that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. The movie whisks us away to Cybertron, where we meet a younger Optimus Prime (back when he was just Orion Pax) and Megatron (known as D-16). They’re like brothers — until fate (and a few epic battles) have other plans.

But that’s not all! The voice cast is a total dream team: Chris Hemsworth as Optimus Prime, Brian Tyree Henry as Megatron, and Scarlett Johansson as Elita-1. And for some laughs, Keegan-Michael Key voices Bumblebee, while Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne, and Jon Hamm round out the cast. An all-star lineup guaranteed to entertain both the kiddos and the parents.
