In the city of San Fransokyo (a portmanteau of San Francisco and Tokyo), Hiro Hamada (Ryan

Potter) is a teenage prodigy, but seems to be unable to use his intellect for anything more than
trying to enter illegal, back-alley bot-fights.

His older brother Tadashi (Daniel Henney) wishes to change Hiro's mind, and tricks his brother
into coming to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, where Tadashi is a student. While there,
Hiro is introduced to a number of Tadashi's 'nerd school' friends: Go Go (Jamie Chung), Wasabi
(Damon Wayans Jr.), Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez), and Fred (T.J. Miller), and the different
inventions they have constructed.

Tadashi then shows Hiro his own project: an inflatable 'nurse' robot, named Baymax (Scott Adsit).
Thanks to a chip that Tadashi programmed with numerous medical analysis information, Baymax
is quite knowledgeable, impressing Hiro. Once he has performed his task, Baymax returns to
sleep mode by being told, "I am satisfied with my care."

The three also meet Robert Callaghan (James Cromwell), the head professor of the Institute, and
after he compliments Hiro on the miniature battle-robot he's made, Hiro wants to enter the
Institute.

Tadashi then encourages his brother to come up with something that will impress Callaghan at
the next robotics exhibit coming up. After Tadashi encourages his brother to 'use that big brain of
yours,' Hiro then uses the robotic technology in his battle-bot, and crafts them into thousands of
micro-bots, controlled by a neural transmitter. Whatever the wearer thinks, the microbots will do.

Needless to say, Hiro's presentation wins over a number of people at the exhibition, even
impressing a high-profile technology guru, named Alistair Krei (Alan Tudyk). Alistair offers to
purchase Hiro's microbot invention on the spot, but Callaghan claims that Krei is not a
trustworthy man with technology. Hiro then declines Krei's request, but is excited when Callaghan
presents him with a letter of acceptance to the Institute.

Hiro, Tadashi, and their friends head off to celebrate, but the mood is cut short when a fire erupts
within the exhibition hall. With word that Callaghan is still inside, Tadashi rushes into the building
to save him. However, as Hiro watches, an explosion rocks the building, blasting him back.

After Tadashi's funeral, Hiro becomes distant from his friends, still working through his grief. His
aunt (and guardian) Cass (Maya Rudolph), tries to encourage Hiro to go to the Institute and take
advantage of his acceptance letter, but he seems unwilling to do so.

After accidentally hurting himself in his room, Hiro is surprised when Baymax appears.
Apparently, Tadashi had brought him back to their shared bedroom before he died. Baymax
attempts to help Hiro, who is reluctant to accept it. However, the mood is broken when Hiro finds
one of his microbots wriggling in a pocket of his jacket. Putting it in a specimen container, Hiro
tries to ignore it, but Baymax notes inquires if he can try to determine where the 'small robot'
wishes to go.

Hiro casually affirms this...not realizing that the robot will follow his commands. Chasing him
down, Hiro and Baymax find themselves at an old warehouse. Sneaking inside, Hiro is surprised
to find a machine churning out similar microbots, with numerous containers filled with them.
However, his surprise turns to shock, when a masked man appears, attempting to kill Hiro and
Baymax with the miniature robots.

Hiro first goes to the police station to report what he's found, but the officer taking down his story
seems reluctant to believe him. It also doesn't help that Baymax's battery starts to run low. Hiro
manages to get him home to be recharged. It is then that Baymax inquires where Tadashi is. Hiro
attempts to explain to the robot that his brother is 'gone.' When Hiro explains that the fire was an
accident, he then begins to wonder, given what he saw today...what if it wasn't, an accident?

Deciding to figure out who has stolen his invention, Hiro decides to upgrade Baymax. After
creating a carbon-fiber suit for the robot, Hiro also programs a new chip that includes numerous
martial arts moves, inserting it into an additional slot in Baymax's 'heart' drive, right next to
Tasashi's chip of Baymax's programming.

The two then return to the warehouse, only to find it empty. However, Hiro notes his microbot has
started to move again, and the two follow its movements to the docks off San Fransokyo.
However, something pulls the microbot out of the container, and it disappears off into the misty
bay. However, moments later, the masked figure appears, using the microbots as a transport
means, and carrying a large object with the symbol of a red bird on it.

Hiro is just about to send Baymax to get the masked man, when they are accosted by Hiro's
friends. Baymax's invite for them to help cheer up Hiro got through, but just then, the masked man
attacks them. The group pile into Wasabi's car, as the masked man gives chase. In the aftermath,
the car ends up driving into the bay, but the group is saved by Baymax, who has shed his armor,
and helps the group float to the surface.

After getting on land, Fred leads the group to his home...which happens to be a large mansion
owned by his parents (who are away).

While recovering, Hiro shows the group the red bird symbol he saw on the piece of machinery to
his friends, but none have seen it. The group soon comes to a consensus, that the man may have
been behind Tadashi's death, and Fred believes he knows who it is: Alistair Krei. Fred explains
that it was Krei who wanted Hiro's microbot technology, and most likely, has gained it at the
expense of Tadashi's life.

Baymax also surprises Hiro, when he explains that during the fight, he scanned the masked man,
and has information on his health and vitals. Hiro wants to identify where their adversary is, but
he would need to scan everyone in San Fransokyo to find out.

The group then decides to band together to stop Krei, with Hiro helping to design them each
special suits based on their specific abilities.

Once Hiro has done this, he and Baymax fly up above the city, and scan the city from an aerial fan.
Baymax's sensors pick up their adversary's health vitals, coming from an island in the bay.

The group flies there, to find a deserted base. One room shows the twisted metal remains of some
machine, with the red bird symbol on it. The group then goes into a control room, where video
shows that the room was used for testing a teleportation project, called "Operation: Silent
Sparrow."
Suddenly, their masked adversary appears, and the group attempts to take him down, but are
completely unsure what to do. Hiro manages to unmask their foe, but instead of finding Krei...he
finds Professor Callaghan.

Callaghan explains that in the fire, he managed to use Hiro's microbot technology to shield
himself from the explosion. This infuriates Hiro, who demands that Baymax destroy Callaghan.
Baymax claims that his programming doesn't allow this, leading to Hiro pulling out the chip
Tadashi put in him. The removal of the chip causes Baymax to follow Hiro's orders, and he
charges at Callaghan. However, Hiro's friends attempt to stop Baymax, with the robot fighting
back at them, before Honey manages to restore Tadashi's chip to his programming.

Callaghan has escaped during the fight, and Hiro demands that Baymax find him, only for the
robot to explain that his scanners are damaged. Bent on revenge, Hiro blasts away with Baymax
back to the garage. He attempts to update Baymax's programming, but Baymax refuses to open
the port where his chip information is.

In desperation, Hiro finally breaks down over the death of his brother, with Baymax countering
that, 'Tadashi is here.' As Hiro watches, Baymax projects video of Tadashi's numerous attempts to
get him running, with the 84th test being a success, and Tadashi claiming that Baymax is "going
to help a whole lot of people."

Hiro's friends eventually return to the garage where he is, and reveal that they have found further
footage of the military test. The footage shows Professor Callaghan also at the test area, and
reveal his motives behind his actions. During the test, a human test subject was propelled into the
portal. However, the portal became unstable, and Krei ordered it shut down. It turns out that the
test subject, was Callaghan's daughter, Abigail (Katie Lowes).

The next day, Krei is revealing the opening of a new facility in the heart of San Fransokyo, when
Callaghan appears, using the microbots to piece together the last active portal, over Krei's
building. Callaghan claims he's going to ruin Krei's life like he ruined his, as the portal comes to
life, and starts to tear apart the building, sucking its pieces into the other dimension.

It is then that Hiro and his friends appear, pleading with Callaghan to stop what he's doing, but the
former Professor refuses to listen to reason. The group attempts to stop him, but Callaghan uses
the microbots to counter their attacks.

During the fight, Hiro notices that the stray microbots are being sucked up into the portal, and he
and the rest of the team work to hack away at their structures, until Callaghan is soon down to a
bare minimum.

Baymax manages to remove the control mask from him, but once he's done so, notes a faint life
signal from within the portal. Even though it is unstable, Hiro and Baymax head into it.

Within the otherworldly atmosphere, they find the test pod, with Abigail inside. Baymax and Hiro
then attempt to maneuver her out of the dimension, but a stray piece of debris from Krei's building
slams into Baymax, ripping away much of his suit, and rendering his rocket boosters inoperable.

Baymax claims that he can get Hiro and Abigail to safety by using his rocket punch. Hiro doesn't
want to lose Baymax, but the robot assures the boy, that he'll "always be with him." Tearfully, Hiro
utters "I'm satisfied with my care," and Baymax launches off his rocket fist, getting Hiro and
Callaghan's daughter through the portal, just before it tears itself apart.

In the aftermath, Abigail is taken to a hospital, and Callaghan is arrested for his crimes. In the
meantime, local news reports on a band of superheroes that saved the city. However, Hiro and his
friends celebrate by having some downtime at his Aunt's place.

Shortly afterwards, Hiro starts his classes at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Taking
residence in the same lab that Tadashi has, Hiro has brought along the rocket fist Baymax
wore...only to find wedged in its closed fist, the green microchip card that Tadashi had put into
Baymax.

Hiro manages to rebuild Baymax, and places the chip inside him, embracing his fellow comrade.
In the end, we see Hiro, Baymax, and their friends, running through the streets of San Fransokyo,
ready to help their city, in any way they can.

A prequel set before the haunting of the Lambert family. Elise Rainier reluctantly agrees to use her
spiritual ability to contact the dead in order to help Quinn Brenner, a teenage girl whose mother
Lillith has recently passed. Quinn believes that Lillith has been attempting to reach out to her
through the spirit world, so she visits Elise for a reading. Elise is unable to complete the reading,
she stops after hearing a demonic presence who threatens to kill her. She warns Quinn that if,
"you call out to one of the dead,all of them can hear you."

Soon after the reading, Quinn begins to hear noises at night and notices more and more
supernatural events occuring. She skips school to audition for a theater academy in New York.
Before going onstage, she notices a figure waving to her from the offstage. This throws her
audition off, and she stumbles through her lines. Later that night, Quinn meets with her friend
Maggie. Maggie complains of her blown audition, and after they have a short conversation, both
start feeling better. As they are crossing the street, Quinn sees the same figure waving down the
street and stops to look. She is then hit by a car. The car accident leaves Quinn with two broken
legs in casts. She is bound to a wheelchair. Her father, Sean, puts her in bed, with a bell to ring if
she need him. Later in the night, she hears a knock on her wall. Assuming it is her next door
neighbor Hector, she knocks twice. He copies her, and she knocks the "Shave and a Haircut"
pattern. He finishes it. Quinn texts Hector, when he reveals that he isn't home. Fearing it was
someone else next door, she turns the light off to go to bed. The bell rings itself, scaring her, and
her dad comes in.

These paranormal occurances become more and more frequent, each time Sean comes in and
saves her. The demon is seen more and more frequently: a demonic corpse with a breathing
mask, making a deathly rattling noise. Sean finds her thrown from her bed, on an entirely different
floor, etc. Eventually, a version of Quinn without a face, hands or feet, is seen following under the
demon's command. The odd version of Quinn is found by Sean on the ground outside of a broken
window. When Quinn attempts to look over the edge of the window to see, the demon grabs her
and tries to pull her down. Sean saves her, but her neck is injured in the process. Sean attempts
to get in contact with Elise. She reluctantly comes, but as she enters the spiritual realm she finds
herself afraid, and the demon very nearly kills her. She is brought back to living world, terrified,
and refuses to continue. Sean has no choice but to call in someone else, a pair of bloggers: Specs
and Tucker. Meanwhile, Elise seeks solace from her friend Carl with her same "gift". Carl
reassures her that she is much stronger than she believes.
After a terrifying experience with Quinn and her demon, the three men admit that there is no doing
this without Elise. Elise is now willing to help, this time she is much more powerful and confident.
She is easily able to defeat the demon, but as they are escaping, it grabs a hold of Quinn's
limbless version. This version of Quinn is revealed to be the half of Quinn's soul that the demon
controls. Elise returns to the living world, and tells the group that this part of the battle must be
fought by Quinn alone. They all grab ahold of her, but it is shown that she is losing the battle
against the demon, as her alternate version gains more of her features. Elise begins to hear a
voice in the living world, leading her to Quinn's diary, revealing a letter that Lillith wanted her to
see before she graduated. The power from this letter helps guide Lillith to save Quinn and banish
the demon, returning her to the living world. Lillith leaves her with some parting words, and the
family is finally back together, as Specs and Tucker join Elise to deal with other supernatural
disturbances.

Elise heads home to find that her husband's spirit has left his sweater on the bed. Overwhelmed
with emotion, she holds his sweater close. Her dog then begins barking into the darkness. Elise
approaches the area he's barking at, where she discovers the presence of two supernatural
entities.
