Hailee Steinfeld portrays ‘Charlie’, a freshly 18 year old girl still struggling with the death of her father while watching her mother involved in a new relationship. Charlie’s angst ridden life takes a turn when she discovers the freedom (and danger) of getting her first car from the junkyard and realizes that it’s a lot more responsibility than she bargained for.
‘Bumblebee’ (2018) brings the Transformers universe back to the silver screen through Hasbro Studios LLC’s production division Allspark Pictures – and it’s the story that fans from the beginnings of the franchise need to see.
