Narrative
Equilibrium
Sam Witwicky is just starting college. He has a girlfriend called Mikaela Banes and owns an Autobot car named Bumblebee, both of whom he leaves behind when he goes to college. He begins college and everything seems normal.
Disruption
Sam is attacked by his roomate who turns out to be a Decepticon (bad robots) in diguise. The Autobots (good robots) rescue him and they are reunited. The Decepticons are instructed by their leader to find the Matrix of Leadership which grants the holder massive power. The Autobots try to stop them and engage in a battle in which Optimus Prime (the leader of the Autobots) is killed. With Optimus Prime dead, the Decepticons launch a full scale attack on Earth.
Resolution
Sam and the Autobots follow clues which lead them to the Matrix. He uses the Matrix to revive Optimus Prime and together, they defeat the Decepticons.
Iconography
The mise-en-scene is generally bright in scenes with the Autobots and darker in scenes with the Decepicons. This is also portrayed in the robots themselves. The Autobots are brightly coloured, using colours such as blue, red and yellow, while the Decepticons are darker, using colours such as black, grey and brown. The characters themselves also use these colours. The film also fools the audience by showing Sam's Decepticon roomate in bright colours, tricking them into thinking that she is good.
