action

Frank Walker tells how he visited the World's Fair in Flushing Meadows Park in New York as a boy in 1964 . He presented his rocket backpack at an inventors' competition, but juror David Nix was unimpressed. However, the girl Athena discovers his potential, slips him a pin with a "T" and instructs him to follow her. In an attraction, he is then teleported to the futuristic Tomorrowland.

Years later, Casey Newton manipulated three cranes at the rocket launch pad of NASA in Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral to delay the demolition of the ramp. Athena secretly slips her a Tomorrowland pin, and when Casey touches her, she has a vision of Tomorrowland, which ends after a few minutes. While doing an Internet search, she finds a store in Houston that sells such a pin and decides to visit the store. When she shows the pin to the shop owners, they try to obtain further information about the origin of the pin by force of arms. Athena gets through to the action and successfully fights the shop owners who turn out to be humanoid robots . Athena, who is also a robot, flees with Casey from fake Secret Service agents in a stolen car and drops her off at Frank Walker's home in New York State.

Frank initially rejects them, but Casey uses a ruse to get into his house, which contains numerous futuristic-looking inventions by Frank. Among them she also finds an old recording that shows how Frank fell in love with Athena as a child because he didn't know she was a robot. Frank runs into Casey again when she is in a room with screens showing doomsday scenes and a probability of the end of the world of 100 percent. After Casey protests, the displayed probability drops, whereupon Frank gets involved with them. The house is destroyed in a fight with the false Secret Service agents arriving.

Frank, Casey and Athena flee to a teleporter developed by Frank decades ago that takes them to the Eiffel Tower . There Frank explains that Gustave Eiffel , Jules Verne , Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison founded the Plus Ultra organization, which was supposed to create a better future with the help of visionaries. They discovered a parallel universe on the earth of which they founded Tomorrowland. With the help of a rocket located under the Eiffel Tower, the trio travel to Tomorrowland, which is in a desolate state.

Nix, meanwhile governor, brings you to a machine that Frank developed decades ago and because of which he was ultimately banned from Tomorrowland. With the help of tachyons , the machine shows any place at any time on earth. The world would end in the next 58 days.

Casey realizes that the machine does not predict the future, but rather changes it by triggering thoughts in the people on earth. Nix knew this, but refuses to turn off the machine. He reports that he showed the people of the earth their future before their eyes, but instead of turning it away, they had given up hope and surrendered to their fate. He tries to banish the three of them to another dimension from Tomorrowland with the help of a portal, but they resist and try to destroy the machine. A bomb brought by Frank does not destroy the machine but only the portal, whereby Nix is ​​squeezed under the rubble. Frank shoots, but Athena, who had foreseen this, throws herself into the line of fire to save him, but is hit herself in the process.

Athena then shuts down and initiates self-destruction. Before that, however, stored thoughts are played back, in which it becomes clear that Athena had developed an affection for Frank, which she had interpreted as a disruption of her empathy circuits. Frank drops Athena into the machine with the help of a rocket backpack, which destroys it.

Casey and Frank begin recruiting more visionaries for Tomorrowland who will be tracked around the world using robots like Athena.
