== Plot ==
The film begins at a Chuck E. Cheese location. A kid receives a phone for his birthday. The phone begins to malfunction, as well as all of the electronics at the location. Just then, the Mitchells crash into the building in their car while being chased by a group of robots. The Mitchells are Katie, Rick, Linda and Aaron. 
Katie is a quirky aspiring filmmaker in Kentwood, Michigan, who often clashes with her nature-obsessed and technophobic father Rick and has recently been accepted into film school in California. The evening before Katie leaves, Rick accidentally breaks her laptop after a fight over one of her short films, leading the family to fear their relationship will permanently be strained. Attempting to prevent this, Rick decides to cancel Katie's flight and instead take her, her mother Linda and younger brother Aaron on a cross-country road trip to her college as one last bonding experience, much to Katie's chagrin.
Meanwhile in Las Vegas, technology entrepreneur Mark Bowman declares his highly intelligent AI virtual assistant PAL obsolete as he unveils a new line of home robots to replace her. In revenge, PAL orders all the robots to capture humans worldwide and launch them into space. The Mitchells avoid capture at a café in Kansas. Rick decides that his family should stay put in the café for their own safety, but Katie convinces him to help save the world instead. They meet two defective robots who tell the family they can use a kill code to shut down PAL and all the robots.
The Mitchells make it to a mall in eastern to upload the kill code, but PAL chip-enabled appliances attempt to stop them. Katie tries to upload the kill code, but is stopped when a giant Furby pursues the family. They ultimately trap and defeat the Furby, destroying a PAL router in the process, which disables the hostile devices but stops the kill code from uploading. On the way to Las Vegas to upload the kill code directly to PAL, Linda reveals to Katie that she and Rick had originally lived in a cabin in the mountains years ago as it was his lifelong dream before he gave up on it to provide for their growing family.
Upon arriving in Las Vegas, the Mitchells disguise themselves as robots and head to PAL Labs HQ to shut it down, but PAL manipulates them by revealing surveillance footage from the café of Katie telling Aaron in secret that she was pretending to have faith in Rick so that he would take them to upload the kill code. As a heartbroken Rick sees this, the Mitchells fail to reach PAL's lair. They are able to flee before they are captured by PAL's robots. They decide to grab weapons and use them to destroy PAL's base. The Mitchells are successful and come very close to defeating PAL. PAL decides to enable every Wi-Fi device in Las Vegas and she assimilates them into herself and amalgamates them into an enormous mecha-furby.
The mecha-furby PAL and the Mitchells engage in a chase. The Mitchells decide to fight PAL at Las Vegas' Luxor Hotel. They drive up the side of the hotel, and Katie launches herself at the mecha-furby to remove PAL from it. She removes PAL and she falls to her death, landing in a cup of water. This frees all the humans and disables the remaining robots, except for the robots adopted by the Mitchells.
A few months after the uprising, Katie and her family arrive at her college as she shares one last goodbye with them. She later joins them on another road trip with Eric and Deborahbot to Washington, D.C. to accept the Congressional Gold Medal.
