The Mitchells vs. The Machines Battle

**The Mitchells vs. The Machines Battle** (also known as the **Machine Apocalypse**) was an epic battle from the Netflix original movie, *The Mitchells vs. The Machines*. It deals with the Mitchell family trying to save the world from an army of Smart Phone Robots.

## History

### Background

It all started at a technological phone company named PAL Labs where the CEO and founder of the company, Dr. Mark Bowman made a new line of products to replace PAL phones including his own personnel PAL that he first made with a series of life sized phone-like robots called PAL MAX who could even do manual labor when told to. But Mark's PAL secretly took control of the PAL MAX robots and made them turn against people and attack them. Then she sent out a whole army of PAL MAX robots to capture every single human on the planet. Meanwhile, there was a weird family called the Mitchells which consisted of Rick the father who is obsessed with the wilderness and fixing stuff but is not good with computers, Linda the mother who is very stressed and tries a lot to be better than her overachieving perfect neighbors the Poseys, Katie the older daughter who is very wacky and made cool internet videos, Aaron the younger son who is obsessed with dinosaurs and has an insecure crush on Abby who is the daughter of the Poseys, and Monchi the dog who can't see straight and is not very bright. They were all on a collage road trip from Minnesota to drop Katie off at film school in Los Angeles when the PAL MAX robots attacked them at a run down dinosaur gift shop.

### The Battle

The Robots capture everyone at the gift shop and place them all into containment pods including the Poseys who were on vacation and met up with the Mitchells at the gift shop but the Mitchells were able to avoid capture and hide out at the gift shop. Meanwhile at PAL headquarters in Silicon Valley, the PAL MAX robots take Mark to the PAL Labs factory which they have made into their fortress call the Rhombus and then they bring him to PAL where she reveals herself as the mastermind behind everything. She also voices out her anger at Mark for throwing her away and replacing her so she decides to get revenge by throwing all of humanity away. But she allows Mark to give her one good reason that humans are worth saving which he claims is that they have the power love which wasn't a good reason. PAL then turns off all the Wi-Fi which makes all of society go crazy which allows the PAL MAX robots to capture them all. Then PAL makes the Rhombus rise up into the air and collect all the pods with the humans in them. Eventually, all the humans are captured except for the Mitchells and the Wi-Fi is restored. After the Mitchells barricade themselves in the gift shop, Katie comes up with a plan to stop the robots using a kill code but Rick wants them all to stay safely in the gift shop which Linda agrees on. But then two PAL MAX robots who were damaged during the attack get back help and unknowingly reveal to Katie and Aaron about the kill code that Mark built into them. They robots then confront the Mitchells in the gift shop but when Katie tells them no to shoot at them they both obey because their programming had been damaged which also made them stupid to the point where they try to pretend to be humans by crudely drawing faces on them with with a marker and name themselves Eric and Deborahbot 5000. When Katie asks them about the kill code they reveal that in order to stop the robots they would have to upload the kill code into PAL which can be done remotely at any PAL retail store and that the closest one is at the Mall of the Globe in Colorado. Katie is onboard with the plan but Rick still insists on playing it safe until Katie makes a big huge speech about how they never played things safe before and that she needs Rick which makes everyone go on board with the plan, but Katie secretly reveals to Aaron that she didn't mean what she said and that she just wants to get away from Rick. The Mitchells prepare to get to the Mall of the Globe by disguising their car as part of the rode then drive to the Mall with Eric and Deborahbot 5000 in the back. However, while Rick tries to teach Katie about stick shift, he causes the car to lose it's disguise which allows them to get spotted by the PAL MAX robots who chase them but Rick was able to lose them with his stick shift lesson. Katie then repaints the disguise on the car and the Mitchell's continue to the Mall of the Globe but they are then reported to PAL by one of the PAL MAX robots they escaped from. Meanwhile, PAL reveals to Mark that she plans to launch all the humans into space using seven rockets made out of the containment pods that way with them all gone the robots would take over and rule the Earth. When PAL is reported about the Mitchells she sends Mark to the pods and plans to capture the Mitchells.

The Mitchells then arrive at Colorado, then when Aaron shows Eric and Deborahbot 5000 Monchi they get confused as they can't tell whether he is either a dog, pig, or loaf of bread which causes them both to have a system error. The Mitchells then arrive at the Mall of the Globe and enter it with their car where they find the PAL retail store. Katie then has Eric and Deborahbot 5000 upload the kill code through a flash drive but while waiting for the upload to complete, the Mitchells are attacked by all the appliances and machines in the mall which are all equipped with PAL Chips. The Mitchells then fight them off with Rick helping Katie fight them using a fishing rod. They then all hide in a toy store but are attacked by Furbys, after the Mitchells take down one of them they all summoned the biggest Furby in the world which attacks them. The Mitchells then escape both it and all the machines in the mall then Ricks comes up with a plan to use snare trap on the giant Furby but it doesn't work until the rest of the Mitchells along with Eric and Deborahbot 5000 help him out which causes the snare trap to work and in the process it destroys the PAL router which take down all the machines in the mall. However, it also cause the kill code upload to fail which makes Katie get depress until Rick convinces them all that they can still stop the robots by uploading the kill code at Silicon Valley. But PAL brings out a new and upgraded series of PAL MAX robots called PAL MAX Prime to stop the Mitchells. While the Mitchells were traveling, Linda reveals to Katie that both she and Rick used to live in a log cabin within the woods that Rick built himself which was his dream but that lifestyle didn't work out so they left it. The Mitchells arrive at Silicon Valley where they see all the humans in pods being placed into the rocket then Katie plans that they all disguise themselves as robots so they can use one of the trans to sneak into the Rhombus and destroy PAL with the kill code. They take down some PAL MAX robots and use their parts to disguise themselves as them, then they sneak into one of the trans along with Eric and Deborahbot 5000. But on their way to the Rhombus, PAL broadcasts to the robot army that she has been doing research on the Mitchells and even shows a video footage of Katie back at the dinosaur gift shop telling Rick how she needs him then telling Aaron that she didn't mean what she said to Rick. This devastates Rick so much that he loses control of the trans which blows the Mitchell's cover allowing the PAL MAX Prime robots to find them and capture Rick and Linda then PAL reprograms Eric and Deborahbot 5000 back to their original programming who destroy the kill code flash drive. But Katie, Aaron and Monchi were able to escape, after making it back outside they both get upset over losing their parents. Then Aaron looks at Katie's video camera and discover that the videos she tape during the road trip were tape over old videos of Rick and Linda's life in the old log cabin in the woods. When Katie notices it she watches it and learns that Rick sold his log cabin after he and Linda had Katie, Rick even took a small wooden carving a mouse from the log cabin as a momentum to it which he later gave to Katie. This causes Katie to fell bad for how she treated Rick so she decides to make up for it all by saving both him and Linda.

Meanwhile, Rick is trapped one of the containment pods on the rocket where he finds Mark who is watching one of Katie's videos that features Monchi as a cop. During which Rick realizes how controlling he has been over Katie and feels sorry for not supporting her interests. But then he notices Katie driving the car with Aaron directing her for a safe location and uses Monchi to stop the PAL MAX robots by making them confuse which causes them all to have system errors. She even uses the stick shift lessons Rick taught her to fight off the robots. But since there are a lot of robots, Rick comes up with an idea to broadcast Katie's video for every robot to see in order to stop them all. With help from Mark, Rick gains access to the control panel in his containment pod to escape and goes to the main control room with Linda helping out after she frees herself too. When Rick gets to the control room, Linda is capture by some PAL MAX Prime robots so Rick tries to use the main computer himself but has a tough time doing it. Katie then drive up to the Rhombus her self but then Aaron gets captured and placed in a containment pod, when Linda notices it she gets angry and fights off the PAL MAX Prime robots. Rick is just about to play the video but then some PAL MAX robots arrive to capture him which include Eric and Deborahbot 5000, Katie is then about to reach the Rhombus but gets captured and brought to PAL. She then asks Katie to give her one reason why humans are worth saving claiming that everyone is better on their own and relationships are just too difficult. But Katie explains that while some relationships may be tough it's worth fighting for to see those she cares about happy. But PAL brushes it off as be boring and drops Katie, but Rick convinces Eric and Deborahbot 5000 to help out and change their programming which allows Rick to broadcast the video that causes all robots to get system errors. Then Rick, Eric, and Deborahbot 5000 save Katie and both she and Rick make up. With all the robots subdued, Rick, Katie, Eric, and Deborahbot 5000 fly up to the Rhombus to go stop PAL but the PAL MAX Prime robots are immune to Monchi's face so Rick and Katie fight them off with PAL MAX robot arms while Eric plays their favorite song, "Live Your Life." During which Linda arrives and helps out after saving Aaron then Katie arrives at the Rhombus, grabs PAL, and throws her into a pool but she bounces off an umbrella to safety until Monchi finally looks straight and make her bounce off his face and into a glass of water. Which cause her to short out and explode which destroys all the robots and frees all the humans in the containment pods, saving the world.

### Aftermath

Afterwards, Linda gains the respect of the Posey's, Aaron is able to talk to Abby, Eric and Deborahbot 5000 become part of the Mitchells, and Katie finally arrives at film school in Los Angeles who now accepts her family's love and weirdness.
