In a distant,but not so unrealistic future,where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation,WALL-E,a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess.Mesmerized with trinkets of Earth's history and show tunes,WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach.One day,Eve,a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot,is sent to Earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable.WALL-E falls in love with Eve.WALL-E rescues Eve from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble.Consistent with her "directive" Eve takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon.WALL-E,doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend,but true to his love,he protects her from wind,rain,and lightning,even as she is unresponsive.One day a massive ship comes to reclaim Eve,but WALL-E,out of love or loneliness hitches a ride on the outside of the ship to rescue Eve.The ship arrives back at a large space cruise ship,which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated Earth 700 years earlier.The people of Earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting.They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss,and are all so fat that they can barely move.When the auto-pilot computer,acting on hastily given instructions sent many centuries before,tries to prevent the people of Earth from returning,by stealing the plant,WALL-E,Eve,the portly captain,and a band of broken robots stage a mutiny
