==Plot==<br />
Hiro Hamada is a 14-year-old robotics genius who lives in the futuristic city of San Fransokyo, and spends his time participating in back-alley robot fights. His older brother, Tadashi, worried that Hiro is wasting his potential, takes Hiro to the robotics lab at his university, where Hiro meets Tadashi's friends, GoGo Tomago, Wasabi, Honey Lemon and Fred, as well as Baymax, a personal healthcare companion Tadashi created. Amazed, Hiro decides to apply to the school. He presents his project—microbots, swarms of tiny robots that can link together in any arrangement imaginable—at an annual exhibition to gain admission. Professor Callaghan, the head of the program, is impressed, and Hiro gets in. When a fire breaks out at the university, Tadashi rushes in to rescue Callaghan, Hiro, though, doesn't want him to because it is dangerous, but Tadashi insists on it, Hiro reluctantly gives in, but the building explodes and both are killed. As a result of losing his brother, Hiro secludes himself from others.<br />
<br />
One day, Hiro accidentally activates Baymax. Baymax follows one of Hiro's microbots to an abandoned warehouse, where he and Hiro discover that someone has been mass-producing Hiro's bots; they are attacked by a masked man, who is controlling the bots. Realizing this man has stolen his project, Hiro decides to catch him and upgrades Baymax with armor and a battle chip. After the masked man attacks Hiro, Baymax, GoGo, Wasabi, Honey, and Fred in a car chase, the six form a superhero team.<br />
<br />
The group discovers a former lab of Krei Tech, a prestigious robotics company, that was experimenting with teleportation technology. The test went awry when the human test pilot vanished inside an unstable portal. The masked man is revealed to be Professor Callaghan, who explains that Hiro's microbots saved him from the fire and he says Tadashi coming in to save him was his mistake. Realizing that Tadashi died in vain, Hiro angrily removes Baymax's healthcare chip, leaving him with only the battle chip, and orders him to kill Callaghan. Baymax almost does so until Honey manages to insert the healthcare chip back in. Angry at his friends, Hiro goes home but breaks down when Baymax asks him if killing Callaghan will make him feel better. To soften Hiro's loss, Baymax plays humorous clips of Tadashi's running tests on him during Baymax's development. Hiro realizes that killing Callaghan is not what Tadashi would have wanted and makes amends with his friends.<br />
<br />
The group discovers that the test pilot was Callaghan's daughter Abigail; Callaghan is seeking revenge on Alistair Krei, the president of Krei Tech, whom he blames for her death. They save Krei and destroy the microbots, but the portal remains active. Baymax detects Abigail from inside the portal and he and Hiro rush in to save her. On their way out, Baymax's armor is damaged and he realizes the only way to save Hiro and Abigail is to propel them through with his rocket fist. Hiro refuses to leave him, but Baymax insists until Hiro tearfully gives in. Hiro and Abigail make it back, Hiro is safe with his friends, Abigail is seen to be okay and Callaghan is arrested and taken into custody.<br />
<br />
Sometime later, as Hiro is finally moving on, he discovers Baymax's healthcare chip, which contains his entire personality, clenched in his rocket fist. Delighted, Hiro rebuilds Baymax and they happily reunite. The six friends continue their exploits through the city, fulfilling Tadashi's dream of helping those in need and call themselves ''Big Hero 6.''<br />
<br />
During the end credits, it is shown through newspaper headlines that Hiro has been awarded a grant from the university and a building is dedicated to Tadashi. Post-credits, Fred, in his family mansion, accidentally opens a secret door and finds superhero gear inside. His father arrives and embraces him, stating that they have a lot to talk about.<br />

==Voice cast==<br />
{{main|Big Hero 6#Team roster}}<br />
* [[Ryan Potter]] as [[Hiro Takachiho|Hiro Hamada]], a 14-year-old robotics prodigy who has already graduated high school. His older brother Tadashi inspires Hiro to gain admission to San Fransokyo's Institute of Technology. Speaking of the character, co-director Don Hall said "Hiro is transitioning from boy to man, it's a tough time for a kid and some teenagers develop that inevitable snarkiness and jaded attitude. Luckily Ryan is a very likeable kid. So no matter what he did, he was able to take the edge off the character in a way that made him authentic, but appealing."<ref name="USATodayTruitt">{{cite web|last=Truitt|first=Brian|title=Meet the saviors of San Fransokyo in 'Big Hero 6'|url=http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2014/07/13/big-hero-6-character-reveal-exclusive/12535005|work=USA Today|accessdate=July 13, 2014|date=July 13, 2014}}</ref><ref name="DeadlineMayaJames" /><ref name="Hiro">{{cite web|title=Hiro|url=https://thismoment-a.akamaihd.net/other/1410708503-2030.pdf|publisher=xprizechallenge.org|accessdate=September 24, 2014}}</ref><br />
* [[Scott Adsit]] as [[Baymax]], an inflatable robot built by Tadashi to serve as a healthcare companion. Hall said "Baymax views the world from one perspective—he just wants to help people, he sees Hiro as his patient." Producer Roy Conli said "The fact that his character is a robot limits how you can emote, but Scott was hilarious. He took those boundaries and was able to shape the language in a way that makes you feel Baymax's emotion and sense of humor. Scott was able to relay just how much Baymax cares."<ref name="USATodayTruitt" /><ref name="DeadlineMayaJames" /><ref>{{cite web|title=Baymax|url=https://thismoment-a.akamaihd.net/other/1410708438-2030.pdf|publisher=xprizechallenge.org|accessdate=September 24, 2014}}</ref><br />
* [[Daniel Henney]] as Tadashi Hamada, Hiro's older brother and Baymax's creator. On Hiro and Tadashi's relationship, Conli said "We really wanted them to be brothers first. Tadashi is a smart mentor. He very subtly introduces Hiro to his friends and what they do at San Fransokyo Tech. Once Hiro sees Wasabi, Honey, Go Go and even Fred in action, he realizes that there's a much bigger world out there than {{sic}} really interests him."<ref name="DeadlineMayaJames" /><ref name="Hiro" /><ref name="OMDisneyCast" /><br />
* [[T. J. Miller]] as [[Fredzilla|Fred]], a laid-back comic-book fan who also plays the mascot at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, who also gave GoGo, Wasabi, and Honey Lemon their nicknames. Speaking of Miller, Williams said "He's a real student of comedy. There are a lot of layers to his performance, so Fred ended up becoming a richer character than anyone expected."<ref name="USATodayTruitt" /><ref name="DeadlineMayaJames" /><ref>{{cite web|last=Stradling|first=Morgan|title=Comedian TJ Miller is First Voice Actor Announced for Disney's 'Big Hero 6'&nbsp;– He's Voicing Fred!|url=http://www.rotoscopers.com/2014/03/27/comedian-tj-miller-is-first-voice-actor-announced-for-disneys-big-hero-6|publisher=Rotoscopers|accessdate=March 28, 2014|date=March 27, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Fred|url=https://thismoment-a.akamaihd.net/other/1410708464-2030.pdf|publisher=xprizechallenge.org|accessdate=September 24, 2014}}</ref><br />

* [[Damon Wayans, Jr.]] as [[Wasabi-No-Ginger|Wasabi]], a smart, slightly neurotic, largely built neat-freak and an expert on laser cutting at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. On the character, co-director [[Chris Williams (director)|Chris Williams]] said "He's actually the most conservative, cautious—he {{sic}} the most normal among a group of brazen characters.

* [[Génesis Rodríguez]] as [[Honey Lemon]], a quirky chemistry whiz at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Williams said "She's a glass-is-half-full kind of person.

With respect to the design of Baymax, Hall mentioned in an interview, "I wanted a robot that we had never seen before and something to be wholly original. That's a tough thing to do, we've got a lot of robots in pop culture, everything from [[Terminator (character)|The Terminator]] to [[WALL-E#Cast and characters|WALL-E]] to [[C-3PO]] on down the line and not to mention Japanese robots, I won't go into that. So I wanted to do something original."
