By the year 2815, a lovely and curious robot and his loyal friend,a tiny cockroach named Hal, are the only inhabitants on Planet Earth. His name is WALL-E and he collects and compacts garbage to clean the planet for people's return. Humans instead live in luxurious spacecrafts since the year 2115, after they failed to save Planet Earth from excessive pollution and desolation covered it all.

One day, WALL-E finds a seedling plant growing the trash. He picks it up and carries the plant to his refuge. Upon their return, a landing ship appears, and an amazing elegant white figure emerges. WALL-E observes from a distance. What's she doing? What is she looking for? As WALL-E continues to watch,

Hal approaches her. Hal, no! She fires her arm cannon at anything that moves! But she doesn't harm Hal at all, instead they both play together. After a while, the white figure, Eve, is interrupted by WALL-E's laugh and she doesn't hesitate to point her gun at him demanding to know his identity, but Hal defends him by crawling into his hand. She scans WALL-E and finds no harm, so she ignores him.

WALL-E immediately falls in love with her and he is determined to get he attention. He approaches her and introduces himself, "WALL-E", he says "Eve'", she answers back. Suddenly a dust storm interrupts them and WALL-E carries Eve to his refuge."Hurry! The storm is coming!" They both get safe inside just in time. What are those? Those are WALL-E's most important treasures, pieces he has collected on his journey on Planet Earth. Among those treasures is the plant and WALL-E shows it to Eve. Eve scans the plant, stores it in her torso and suddenly shuts down. What is happening? Why is Eve inactive? WALL-E doesn't understand...anyway, he protects her motionless body from every natural event: rain,dust storms, and thunderstorms...until one day the ship returns to take Eve away...Where are they going?
