Three other planets have disappeared mysteriously alongside Tenemule, prompting the peacekeeping Galactic Rangers to handle the situation. When the Rangers visit planet Veldin looking for recruits, a young spaceship mechanic named Ratchet attempts to join, but Captain Qwark rebuffs him.Later, Drek is overseeing production of warbots at his factory on the Blargian homeworld of Quartu alongside his lieutenant Victor Von Ion and his devious chief scientist Dr. Nefarious. A lightning-induced blackout hits the factory, causing the system to produce a defect, a small but intelligent robot.

The defect learns of Drek's plans and attempts to escape to planet Kerwan to warn the Rangers. Victor damages the defect's ship as he takes off, forcing him to crash land on Veldin.

Ratchet discovers the defect, takes him in, and names him Clank.Ratchet and Clank fly to Kerwan, where they save the Rangers from an army of warbots led by Victor, who escapes. Under pressure from reporters, Qwark names Ratchet and Clank honorary Rangers, but grows jealous of their newfound fame. The Rangers discover that the Blarg are extracting portions of the destroyed planets that contain famous landmarks, and that they are planning to build a replacement homeworld—New Quartu—from the fragments, as Quartu has been polluted beyond surface habitation. Thanks to Ranger Cora Veralux , they learn that the next target is planet Novalis.Qwark encounters Drek, who offers to help boost his image in spite of Ratchet and Clank's popularity. Qwark accepts so long as Drek agrees never to hurt the Rangers, but Drek has him disable the Rangers' weapons during an assault on the Deplanetizer.

Victor boards the Rangers' flagship and attacks Clank, who subdues him by rusting him solid using a rainstorm-producing weapon. Ratchet boards the Deplanetizer, but is captured by Drek and notices Qwark standing by, realizing his treachery.Drek destroys Novalis, appalling Qwark and causing Ratchet to exile himself to Veldin out of guilt.

Qwark confronts Drek, but Nefarious appears and chides him for selling out the Rangers. Qwark is surprised at Nefarious' presence, having thought him killed during a prison break. After Qwark leaves, Nefarious turns Drek into a ship with his Sheepinator and ejects him to New Quartu in an escape pod, taking control of the Deplanetizer for his own intentions.

When Clank and the Rangers convince Ratchet to return, they learn Nefarious plans to destroy planet Umbris, which has a highly unstable core that would annihilate all other planets in the galaxy were it destroyed.The Rangers attack the Deplanetizer again, but Qwark intercepts and battles Ratchet and Clank. Ratchet pleads with Qwark to stop, causing Qwark to realize he has been used, and the three confront Nefarious. Nefarious reveals he was once a Ranger before he left due to Qwark's mistreatment, and plans to destroy the galaxy in revenge. Nefarious fires the laser, but the Rangers move it off target from Umbris and toward New Quartu, killing Drek too.

Nefarious tries to disintegrate Qwark, but is stopped short by Ratchet, causing Nefarious himself to be disintegrated as he falls into the Deplanetizer's laser chamber. Ratchet, Clank, and Qwark manage to escape through a teleporter as the Deplanitizer falls towards Umbris.With Nefarious thwarted, the Rangers return to a hero's welcome on Kerwan, though Qwark is demoted to Private.

Insomniac mentioned they were eager to produce a Ratchet & Clank film adaptation, remarking:One of the biggest questions we've gotten in the last few years is 'When are you going to make a Ratchet & Clank movie?' The truth is, we've wanted to do a movie for a long time! Ratchet & Clank's action, humor and galaxy-spanning adventures have really been the basis for a fantastic game series, and we think it would translate perfectly to the big screen.

Commenting on the movie's performance, Hefferon stated 'We are obviously disappointed with the North American opening release results. The huge success of, and continued strength of, represented a loss of a large portion of the family market.

Although support from the Ratchet & Clank fan base has been positive, the turnout for the film was not sufficient to overcome the highly competitive market place for the opening weekend of the film.'

Kyle Smith of the gave the film one out of four stars, saying 'Small fry will learn an important lesson taking in the recycled storyline of Ratchet & Clank: Like all recycling, it's garbage.' Gave the film a 6/10, saying, ' Ratchet & Clank is not a bad movie by any means, especially when compared to some of the downright-terrible video game adaptations of the past two decades.

But given the humor, action and sense of adventure of the games, the movie is ultimately a competent, shallow, disappointing take on the adventures of the plucky Lombax and his robot buddy. My advice is to stick to the stellar game.' Gave the film a mixed review, saying, ' Ratchet & Clank pulls us across the universe at a breakneck pace, but it never seems to take us anywhere. The series may have found success in video games, but in the meantime, it's merely stumbled into film.'
