    TRANSFORMERS:THE MOVIE(2007)

    Sam Witwicky first appears in the 'Transformers' movie. He has inherited his grand-grandfather's old artifacts and treasures. Archibald Witwicky was among the first men who discovered Antarctica in 1897.

    Sam is set up as a bit of a loser, who desperatley wants a car, so he can get a girlfriend. The same day the movie is set, Sam's father purchases a car for him. The car manipulates its surroundings so it will be an obvious choice for Sam. The car is in fact Bumblebee, an Autobot sent to gaurd Sam from danger. Sam, being a young teenager, drives to a party near a lake with his friend Miles. Miles proceeds to embarrass him, while Sam and Trent get into an argument, with Sam coming out on top (if subtely). As a result of how Trent treats Mikaela, she breaks up with him, and Sam attempts to offer her a lift home (kicking out his friend in the process). Sam unintentionally makes a few sexual jokes, but finally does get Mikaela into his car. After Bumblebee stops, Mikaela inspects the engine, and it is very high tech for such a cheap car. After failing at fixing the car, Mikaela decides to walk. Sam beings to feverishly try to get it started, and Bumblebee wakes up.

    In the 2009 sequel Revenge of the Fallen, Sam is going to college and is trying to have a normal life and get away from the world savior status. But while getting ready, Sam finds a sliver of the Allspark on his jacket which give him visions similar to his great grandfather, causing him to suffer a mental breakdown as a result. Optimus turns to him for help in convincing the human government to allow the Autobots to stay. Sam refuses, saying he wants a normal life and Optimus doesn't need him anymore to which Optimus replies that they need Sam more than he knows. One of the girls in Sam's dorm who apparently likes him, Alice, turns out to be a Decepticon who attacks him. Sam is saved by Mikaela, who kills Alice. Sam is then later abducted by Decepticons to acquire the information in Sam's mind before Megatron can vent out his aggression on the boy. But after being saved by Optimus, who is killed during the fight, Sam ends up leading Mikaela, Bumblebee, his roommate Leo, the Twins: Skids and Mudflap, and Simmons in a quest to find the Matrix and use it to revive Optimus. During the final battle, Sam is killed by Megatron until he was revived by the Dynasty of Primes so he can resurrect Optimus, allowing him to kill The Fallen and save the Earth.
