During a quest to find a fuel crystal that would power his ship and allow him to return to the planet outpost T'Kani Prime in his own time, Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear finds himself trapped on a future T'Kani Prime battling alien robots that are trying to destroy him and group of untrained rangers.
The toys' new home is full of creaks, squeaks, and shadows so Buzz and Woody aren't sure they are brave enough to explore until they meet some new friends to help them.
A rivalry erupts when Woody, a cowboy doll once favored by Andy, is replaced in the child's affections by Buzz Lightyear, a space hero, but the toys band together when their lives are endangered by the toy-torturing kid next door.
When Andy grows up, he does not want his toys anymore, so they are sent to a daycare, where they meet other toys and there are lots of kids to play with them, but when things turn bad, they try to escape from the daycare.
