In the year 2050, children have miniature LBX robots they can build, customize and battle with. Thirteen year old Van Yamano (Logan Lerman) is forbidden by his mother to have an LBX robot after the disappearance of his father. Then, one day, a mysterious woman gives him an LBX named Achilles, saying that the fate of the world rests in it. He also learns from her that his father is still alive, and finds out about a secret conspiracy involving the government. What he doesn't know is that his LBX holds the key to the fate of the entire world. He soon finds himself caught in the midst of a vast conspiracy for global domination with the highest ranks of power. Now, Van must defend the world from tyranny, depending solely on his own unique abilities and his LBX robots.

Critical response
The film currently holds a 56% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes based on 84 reviews, with the site's consensus reading: "Although LBX expresses a deep willingness to break free of the anime cliches of its source material, its somewhat still loosely written premise makes it hard to recommend on certain levels."
