The plot follows Buzz, voiced by Chris Evans, and his team as they become stranded on a dangerous alien planet after an experimental hyperspace jump goes wrong. As Buzz tries to find a way back home, he deals with the threats from the planet and his own growing frustration. The movie touches on important themes like determination, sacrifice, and how time affects life, especially as Buzz experiences time dilation—every flight he makes ages him while his friends stay the same age.

The film showcases beautiful animation, with stunning space visuals and exciting action scenes. Lightyear is a touching, character-focused adventure that adds depth to the Toy Story universe while also being a thrilling sci-fi experience on its own.
