Release Date: September 2 , 2008

By , About.com Guide

Length: 144 minutes
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor, and language

Directed by Michael Bay, this actioner is based on Hasbro toys. The parts of each toy are movable so it can be changed back and forth between a robot and, say, a vehicle. In the movie, two groups of extraterrestrial robots — the good Autobots and the evil Decepticons — come to Earth, and humans get caught up in the war between them. One of the Autobots transforms into a car owned by an eleventh grader (Shia LaBeouf). But one of the Decepticons appears as a helicopter, then transforms into a robot that attacks a U.S. military installation.
