Ryugokan (2024 film)

Near the planet Jupiter, a weird portal appears and a space pod comes out, which crash-lands on Earth near Germany in 1942, disrupting a training exercise by the Unidentified Life Form Society, a secret Nazi agency tasked with monitoring extraterrestrial activity on Earth. The U.L.F.S. soldiers see a advanced bionic humanoid come out of the pod and presume it to be hostile and orders each other to attack the humanoid. The humanoid, who is revealed to be a female genie scans one of the soldiers and flees to a nearby mine, where it is ambushed by an IO minion. When the genie refuses to reveal her master's whereabouts, the minion scratches her face and damages her memory core, prompting the genie to kill the minion with one of his own missiles. The genie scans a nearby dragon statue before collapsing from her injuries and going back into her lamp, which drifts into the ocean and ends up all the way in New York.

Lucille "Lucy" Maverick, who is depressed by the death of her father and resentful of her mother's relationship with her new boyfriend, finds the lamp in a local scrapyard behind a thrift store owned by her Uncle, who gives it to her as a 17th-birthday present. When trying to rub it, Lucy unknowingly activates a homing signal that is detected by the IO Agents Pillar and Trakeena while they interrogate and kill Joey on one of Saturn's moons. The two agents head to Earth and encounter the U.L.F.S.; pretending to be peacekeepers, they persuade the agency to help them capture the genie, despite ' objections.

As Lucy attempts to clean the lamp, it summons the genie, whom she befriends and names "Ryugokan". She then unknowingly unlocks a message from Ryu's first master urging her to defend Earth, which restores some of her memories. They are discovered by Lucy's neighbor Michael, who agrees to protect their secret, while Ryu learns to use her dragon wings to fly. While left alone one day, Ryugokan unintentionally destroys Lucy's home and causes an energy spike that attracts the U.L.F.S.'s attention. When the mother blames Lucy for the havoc, Lucy has an emotional breakdown and finally expresses her pain over her father's death and leaves with Ryu and Michael, only to be intercepted by the Nazis and the IO. Ryugokan is captured while Lucy and Michael are returned home.

Lucy convinces her brother James to cover for her and Michael as they follow Burns to the Sector 7 outpost where Bumblebee is being held. While torturing Bumblebee, Shatter and Dropkick accidentally activate a message from Optimus and learn that the Autobots are coming to Earth. Dropkick then kills Bumblebee and Dr. Powell, but not before the latter is able to alert Burns to the truth about the Decepticons.

Charlie electroshocks Bumblebee back to life, restoring his memories, and fends off Burns' obstruction. After evading the military with the help of Memo and her family, Charlie and Bumblebee pursue the Decepticons, who are using a radio tower at a nearby harbor to contact their allies on Cybertron. Shatter shoots down Burns' helicopter when he tries to intervene, but he is saved by Bumblebee. Bumblebee fights Dropkick and binds him with a chain, ripping him apart. Charlie deactivates the Decepticon beacon, only to be pursued by Shatter. Bumblebee destroys a dam wall, triggering a flood that causes a cargo ship to crush and destroy Shatter. Bumblebee and Charlie escape the army and later arrive on a cliff overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge, where Charlie, realizing that Bumblebee has a greater purpose, says goodbye. Bumblebee gains on some new genie forms and abilities and drives off, and Charlie reunites with her family and Memo.

Bumblebee reunites with her old master, who successfully escaped Agrabah. He praises Ryugokan for keeping Earth safe as they watch more genie escape pods enter Earth's atmosphere.
