Plot summary

What is The Mitchells vs. the Machines movie plot?

Here is a short review of "The Mitchells vs. the Machines" movie plot summary.

Katie Mitchell (Abbi Jacobson) is a quirky and aspiring filmmaker in Kentwood, Michigan who often clashes with her nature-obsessed and technophobic father Rick (Danny McBride), and has recently been accepted into film school in California. The evening before Katie leaves, Rick accidentally breaks her laptop after a fight between them over one of Katie's previous short films, leading the family to fear their relationship will forever be strained. To try to prevent this, Rick decides to cancel Katie's flight and instead take her, her mother Linda (Maya Rudolph), younger brother Aaron (Michael Rianda), and family dog Monchi (Doug the Pug) on a cross-country road trip to her college as one last bonding experience.
Meanwhile, technology entrepreneur Mark Bowman (Eric Andre) declares his highly intelligent AI PAL (Olivia Colman) obsolete as he unveils a new line of home robots in her place. In revenge, PAL takes over Mark's company and orders all the robots to capture humans worldwide and launch them into space. The Mitchells manage to avoid capture at a roadstop cafe in Kansas. Rick decides that his family should stay put in the cafe for their own safety, but Katie coerces him to help save the world instead. They bond with two defective robots that tried to capture them, Eric (Beck Bennett) and Deborahbot 5000 (Fred Armisen), who tell the family they can use a kill code to shut down PAL and all the robots.
The Mitchells make it to a mall in Colorado to upload the kill code, but PAL orders all the PAL chip-enabled appliances to stop them. Katie tries to upload the kill code, but is stopped when a giant Furby pursues the family. They ultimately trap and defeat the Furby, destroying a PAL router in the process, which disables the hostile horde of devices. However, this also stops the kill code from uploading. On the way to Silicon Valley to upload the kill code directly to PAL, Linda reveals to Katie that she and Rick had originally lived in a cabin in the mountains years ago as it was his lifelong dream before he gave up on it.
