The interstellar battle between the Autobots and Decepticons rains destruction down on planet Earth as director Michael Bay adapts Hasbro and Takara's popular Transformers franchise into a big-budget, live-action summer tentpole extravaganza in this ambitious sci-fi action feature starring Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Bernie Mac, John Turturro, Jon Voight, and, of course, Optimus Prime and Megatron. Long ago, on the planet of Cybertron, a massive, powerful alien race divided into two factions, the noble Autobots, and the devious Decepticons. They fought for the sole access to a talisman known as the Allspark, a cube with the capacity to grant infinite power, and eventually the Autobots smuggled it off the planet's surface, hiding it in an unknown location on Earth. Now, hundreds of years later, the Deceptacons have come looking for it, and if the Autobots don't find it first, the Earth will be enslaved or destroyed by the evil aliens' use of its massive power. The Autobots don't know where the cube was hidden, but the information may be stored in the most unlikely of sources, as a gangly young Earthling named Sam Witwicky (LaBeouf) who's just picked up his first car, has a strange connection to the Allspark's history, making him the unlikely ally of these enormous creatures, as they fight for humankind's survival and the chance to return home. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Huxtables attend an auction at Sotheby's in hopes of bidding on a painting that was done by Ellis Wilson, the great-uncle of Clair Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad). Unfortunately, sentiment may give way to practicality when the bidding soars past the $9,000 mark. Meanwhile, Sondra's male-chauvinist boyfriend Elvin (Geoffrey Owens) tries to get back into the family's good graces by learning to cook--with the assistance of some "Secret Sauce", courtesy of Cliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
