The film opens in a vibrant factory where workers are assembling the Rozzum unit 7134, a robot. However, Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong’o) suddenly awakens for the first time and discovers she is alone on a distant, wild island. Confused about her origins and how she arrived, she quickly understands that her primary goal is to survive.

One day, while frolicking with the local raccoons and deer, Roz hears an alarming sound from the underbrush. As the noise grows louder, she finds herself face-to-face with a menacing pack of cougars, vultures, and wolves. When one of the deer stands its ground, it gets hurt by a wolf. In a heroic display of courage, Roz confronts the attackers, enduring some scratches but ultimately saving the day. The other animals, including otters, bears, geese, porcupines, and foxes, rally around her in celebration, cheering for her triumphant stand against the predators.

As tensions escalate, Roz gathers her wild animal friends for an epic showdown against a horde of evil robots. With determination, all the animals charge forward, forcing the robots to retreat in a chaotic display of teamwork and bravery.

In a tense moment while traversing a swamp, Roz encounters a pack of nine ravenous crocodiles. Just when it seems the odds are against her, a bear comes to her aid, showcasing the bonds formed between Roz and the inhabitants of the forest.

The climactic battle sees Roz summoning all the creatures of the forest to join forces against the evil robots. The fight culminates in an intense finale where the animals, driven by their love for Roz, successfully dismantle the mechanical foes. Unlike the book’s portrayal, where Roz is severely damaged and transported back to the factory, the film depicts her and her animal friends emerging victorious, leaving the malevolent robots in a state of disarray as they flee in defeat, retreating on a plane back to their origin.

In the closing scene, the forest is in celebration of their victory. Roz decides to embrace her new life and protect her friends, sealing her commitment to stay by giving each animal a heartfelt hug, solidifying her place in the community she now cherishes.
