Bumblebee is a 2018 science fiction action film based on the Transformers toy line character. Directed by Travis Knight and written by Christina Hodson, it is the sixth installment in the Transformers film series. It stars Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Ortiz, Jason Drucker, and Pamela Adlon. Set in 1987, the film follows Bumblebee being sent to Earth for refuge and befriending a teenage girl named Charlie. Development on a film featuring Bumblebee was confirmed in 2016, and Knight was announced as director in 2017. In contrast to past Transformers films directed by Michael Bay, Knight sought to create a more story-focused work, and drew inspiration from the original Transformers animated series and toy line. Filming took place in California from July to November 2017. The film premiered on December 3, 2018, at the Sony Center in Berlin, and was released in the United States on December 21, by Paramount Pictures. It received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its action sequences, Steinfeld's performance, Knight's direction, visuals, and the 1980s setting.
