In a distant corner of the universe, a daring young man named Peter Quill, who calls himself Star-Lord, finds himself embroiled in an intergalactic conflict after stealing a mysterious orb. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when he becomes the target of a bounty hunter sent by Ronan, a ruthless villain with revenge plans against the planets of Xandar. To escape from the prison where he is captured, Peter teams up with a group of unusual allies: Gamora, a lethal assassin with a dark past; Drax the Destroyer, a warrior seeking redemption for the death of his family; Rocket, a genetically modified raccoon and weaponry expert; and Groot, a tree-like humanoid with the peculiar ability to regenerate.
Together, they form an unlikely alliance, but as they embark on a series of comedic and dangerous adventures, these four misfits discover the value of friendship and redemption. With the fate of the universe in their hands and an irreverent style, they must unite to stop Ronan before he carries out his destructive plan. Amid spectacular explosions, intergalactic encounters, and a soundtrack filled with classics from the 70s and 80s, our heroes will prove that even the most unusual of men can become the true guardians of the galaxy. In the end, they will learn that despite their differences, together they are stronger.
