TOMORROWLAND

       Frank Walker and Casey Newton relate to the audience their experiences, beginning with Frank's visit to the 1964 New York World's Fair when he was a child. In the flashback, he meet David Nix, an official who is unimpressed with Frank's prototype jet pack. Frank does draw the attention of a young girl named Athena. Seeing his potential, Athena gives Frank a pin ambossed with a "T" symbol and tells him to follow her aboard the fair's "It's a Small World" attraction. Frank sneaks onto the ride, where his pin is scanned and he is transported into a futuristic cityscape known as Tomorrowland. He falls from a ledge, but straps on his jet pack in mid air and lands safely before Nix and Athena.

       After evading the robots and reuniting with Athena, they uses a teleportation that Frank invented, and transport themselves to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. They enter a room with mannequins of Gustave Eiffel, Jules Verne, Nikola Tesla, and Thomas Edison. Frank explains that the four men were the founder of Plus Ultra, a group of inventors dedicated to finding other dreamers and inventors who shared the hope of shaping a better future.

      As they await being sent back to Earth, Casey realizes that when the tachyon machine tells the public that the world is coming to an end, it causes the people to accept the apocalypse. This in turn makes the end of the world all the more possible, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Athena instructs Frank to take her to the machine. Her self-destruction bomb destroys the machine, which kills Nix as well.

Back in the present, Frank and Casey's audience are revealed to be android like Athena, who are untrusted with new pins and instructed to bring other "dreamers" to Tomorrowland.
