Los invasores de Marte

Dos razas de robots extraterrestres transformables (los villanos "decepticons" y los amistosos "autobots") llegan a la Tierra en busca de una misteriosa fuente de poder. En la guerra que estalla entre las dos razas, los hombres toman partido por los "autobots". Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), un avispado adolescente, que sólo desea conquistar a la bella Mikaela (Megan Fox), se convierte en la clave de una guerra que puede destruir a la humanidad.
