Plot

In the futuristic city of San Fransokyo, Hiro Hamada, a 14-year-old high school graduate and robotics prodigy, spends his time competing in illegal underground robot fights. Hoping to get him out of this dangerous lifestyle, his inventive older brother Tadashi takes him to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, where Hiro meets Tadashi's four best friends – gritty Go Go Tomago, neurotic Wasabi, bubbly Honey Lemon and comic book fan Fred. Tadashi also introduces his project, inflatable healthcare robot Baymax. After meeting Tadashi's mentor Professor Robert Callaghan, Hiro applies to the university, impressing the school's showcase with his project—microbots that can link together into any configuration using a neural transmitter. Hiro is accepted, but a fire breaks out while Callaghan is still in the building. Tadashi rushes back inside to save him, only for the building to explode, with both declared dead.
