Gramercy Pictures has unveiled the first full-length trailer for Rainmaker’s Ratchet & Clank, the CG-animated feature film based on the iconic PlayStation video game franchise from Sony created and developed by Insomniac Games.

Here’s the official synopsis:
Two unlikely heroes struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. Ratchet is the last of his kind, a foolhardy “lombax” who has grown up alone on a backwater planet with no family of his own. Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way, they will learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one’s own identity.
