Toys

Kenneth Zevo, the eccentric owner of Zevo Toys in Moscow, Idaho, faces terminal illness. Defying expectations, he bypasses his son, Leslie—a whimsical toymaker apprenticed at the factory—and appoints his estranged brother, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Leland Zevo, as successor. Kenneth believes Leslie's childlike nature would endanger the company, despite his talent. To aid Leslie's maturity, Kenneth hires Gwen Tyler, hoping they will form a romantic relationship.

After Kenneth's death, Leland reluctantly assumes control but delegates factory operations to Leslie and his sister, Alsatia, due to their expertise. However, Leland's militaristic instincts surface upon learning of potential corporate espionage. He enlists his son Patrick, a covert operations specialist, to overhaul security. Inspired by war machinery, Leland proposes manufacturing military toys, clashing with Leslie, who cites Kenneth's pacifist ethos as company policy. Meanwhile, Leslie and Gwen begin dating.

Secretly, Leland converts a factory section to develop miniature remote-controlled war machines, misleading Leslie by claiming it is for experimental toys. After the military rejects his prototypes, Leland grows unhinged, expanding production, militarizing the facility, and displacing workers—including Alsatia. Suspicious, Leslie and Alsatia infiltrate the restricted area and discover children piloting war drones via arcade-style consoles. They narrowly escape an amphibious drone, the "Sea Swine," and alert Gwen and Kenneth's former assistant Owen Owens.

Patrick, learning Leland lied about his mother Dee Dee's death, defects to Leslie's side. The group infiltrates the factory, evading Leland's deadly toys, including "Tommy Tanks" and "Hurly-Burly Helicopters." Leslie rallies vintage Zevo toys from storage, unleashing them against Leland's army in a chaotic showdown. During the clash, Leland's helicopter misfires, destroying his control panel and deactivating his machines.

A critical revelation emerges: Alsatia is an advanced robot built by Kenneth to be Leslie's companion after his mother's death. She is damaged defending against the Sea Swine but later repaired. Leland, attacked by his own drone, is hospitalized. Leslie assumes leadership, restoring the factory's playful ethos with Gwen, while Patrick departs for new missions. The film concludes with the group honoring Kenneth's legacy at a memorial.
