A young girl, Pok, befriends Robit, a robot from another planet who was alone on the journey in the future. They began to journey on a fantastic journey across the post-apocalyptic town as cabin boy aboard a majestic space galleon, accompanied by the the alien invaders that are preparing an invasion of the Earth.

Plot
In the alternate history, the Mushroom Bomb lands on Earth, destroying part of the world and it falls into the post-apocalyptic town.

10 years later, a young adolescent girl, Pok Tezuka, became separated from her grandmother after the apocalyptic war against the aliens, leaving the town in ruins. She met the gentle trolls, the hand-working Wayne (Seth Rogen), the stupid and grumpy Cliff (Adam Sandler), the dim-witted Dru (Bill Hader), and the former actress Brooke (Rihanna), which are preparing an invasion of the Earth that use a mind control weapon. One day, the pirates chases after her. During the chase, she met a crazy robot named Robit (Eddie Murphy) and his former invention, Wonderbot.

Robit, Pok, and the other trolls is later captured by the pirates and was taken into the ship. The ship is commanded by the feline Captain Amelia along with her stone-skinned and disciplined first mate, Mr. Arrow. The crew is a motley bunch, secretly led by the half-robot former cook and current general Maul, whom Robit suspects is the cyborg he was betrayed his own kind. Jim is sent down to work in the galley, where he is supervised by Maul and his shape-shifting pet, Morph. Despite Robit's mistrust of Maul, Maul reveals himself to be a bad alien that wants to turn humans into slaves (which the truth was later confirmed in his nightmare).

Spending one day in the ship, the other robots are received by the visit of the kangaroo-like mate, Shellia, and his son, Reo. During the voyage, the ship encounters a supernova. Robit, while securing lifelines of all crew members, saves Maul from falling just in time. The supernova then devolves into a black hole and Ren is shortly sucked into it. Pok abandons the ship, along with his friends, causing to Maul targets to blast Pok. The fugitives are shot down by a mutineer during their escape, injuring Brooke.

Eventually, Pok and Robit begins saving aliens in the neighborhood. Upon discovering this, Maul orders Shellia to stop Robit and destroy the world. One night, as the pirates corner the group here; using a back-door, Pok reunites again with her grandmother in return to the ship in an attempt to steal the treasure. Shellia attacks them but gets thrown into space, which causes Reo joins the group to the good side.

Moments after steals the treasure, a second Mushroom Bomb strikes and destroy the post-apocalyptic city, spreading destruction in its wake. Pok and his friends flee and jump across the sea to the mainland, but Pok's younger brother, Ren, sacrifices himself to stop the war. Robit and Pok gets into an argument, and forced to end the relationship each other. Pok and the others arrives back to the apocalyptic world to stop the apocalypse, but Maul and his crew corners and attacks them. The final battle ensues when Maul is crushed by the third Mushroom Bomb, and the crew calls off the invansion.

After Pok and Robit restores their frienship, the world is back to normal. But then, a spaceship appears in the sky and the aliens goes back home off to Earth, sharing several goodbyes. As avoid to being captured by the government, Robit tries to return home with his former invention, the time machine.
