Casey refuses to accept the world will end, causing the future to temporarily alter. They travel to a tachyon machine, invented by Frank, which accurately predicted the worldwide catastrophe. David Nix, Tomorrowland's governor, greets them. There, they find Tomorrowland in a state of decay. The trio use an antique rocket, called the Spectacle, hidden beneath the Eiffel Tower to travel to Tomorrowland. Frank explains that Gustave Eiffel, Jules Verne, Nikola Tesla, and Thomas Edison co-founded Plus Ultra, a secret society of futurists, creating Tomorrowland in another dimension, free to make scientific breakthroughs without obstruction. Using a teleportation device, the trio travel to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Frank resents Athena for lying to him about her true nature, but reluctantly agrees to help them get to Tomorrowland. Animatronic assassins arrive to kill Casey, but she and Frank escape, meeting Athena in the woods outside Frank's house. Frank warns her that the future is doomed, but she disagrees, thus lowering the counter's probability. Inside Frank's house, Casey finds a probability counter marking the end of the world. The reclusive, cynical Frank declines Casey's request to take her to Tomorrowland, having been banished from it years ago. Athena drops Casey off outside an adult Frank's house in Pittsfield, New York. After Casey and Athena steal a car, Athena reveals she is an animatronic, purposed to find and recruit people who fit the ideals of Tomorrowland. Athena bursts in and defeats the owners, actually Audio-Animatronics, who self-destruct, blowing apart the shop. The owners attack her when she is unable to divulge where she got the pin, insisting that Casey knows about a "little girl". With help from her younger brother Nate, Casey finds a Houston memorabilia store related to the pin. Her adventure is cut short when the pin's battery runs out, leaving Casey stranded in a lake. While touching it, the pin transports her to Tomorrowland. At the police station, she finds a pin in her belongings. Her father, Eddie, is a NASA engineer, but faces losing his job. In the present day, optimistic teenager Casey Newton repeatedly sabotages the planned demolition of a NASA launch site in Florida. Frank obeys and sneaks onto the ride, where the pin is scanned by a laser, and he is transported to Tomorrowland, a futuristic cityscape, where advanced robots fix his jetpack, allowing him to fly and join the secretive world. Frank is approached by a young girl, Athena, who hands him an orange lapel pin with a blue "T" embossed on it, telling him to follow her onto Walt Disney's " It's a Small World" attraction at the Fair's Pepsi-Cola Pavilion. In 1964, a young boy named Frank Walker attends the 1964 New York World's Fair to sell his prototype jet pack, but is rejected, as it does not work. The film, which received mixed reviews from critics, grossed $209 million worldwide and was considered a commercial failure for losing Disney $120–150 million at the box office. Tomorrowland was released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures in conventional and IMAX formats on May 22, 2015. Principal photography began in August 2013, with scenes shot at multiple locales in five countries. In drafting their story, Bird and Lindelof took inspiration from the progressive cultural movements of the Space Age, as well as Walt Disney's optimistic philosophy of the future, notably his conceptual vision for the planned community known as EPCOT. Walt Disney Pictures originally announced the film in June 2011 under the working title 1952, and later retitled it to Tomorrowland, after the futuristic themed land found at Disney theme parks. In the film, a disillusioned genius inventor and a teenage science enthusiast embark to an intriguing alternate dimension known as "Tomorrowland", where their actions directly affect their own world. It stars George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, Britt Robertson, Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw, Kathryn Hahn, and Keegan-Michael Key. Tomorrowland (also known as Project T in some regions and subtitled A World Beyond in some other regions) is a 2015 American science fiction film directed by Brad Bird, with a screenplay by Bird and Damon Lindelof, based on a story by Bird, Lindelof, and Jeff Jensen.
