In the 22nd century, the megacorporation Buy N Large assumed every economic service on Earth, including the government. Overrun by unrecycled waste, the planet eventually became so polluted that it could no longer support life. In an attempt to keep humanity alive, Buy N Large sponsored a five-year exodus to outer space aboard hundreds of massive executive starliners Thousands of adaptable waste management robots known as WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter-Earth-Class) were left behind to clean up the planet. However, the planet was found too toxic to return to and 700 years later only one WALL-E (Ben Burtt) remains operational. He inadvertently stumbles upon the key to the planet’s future and adventure ensues.
