Synopsis
A group of scientists and astronauts discover and explore Mobius, an alternate futurist version of Earth where animals have evolved to human level. While travelling in the new planet, a reporter and her astronaut fiancee meet and form a friendship with Sonic the Hedgehog, who is determined to protect his world and Earth from potential threats such as his nemesis Dr. Eggman and mercenaries and smugglers from Earth hired to collect the Chaos Emeralds and capture animals on Earth and Mobius to robotize them as slaves for Eggman's corrupt empire. Sonic and his comrades must also work together to save the world from a powerful enemy who seeks to wipe out all life on both Earth and Mobius.

Plot
In a forest of Madagascar, two American journalists are discretely reporting about mercenaries and smugglers led by Devon Corvus (Tom Felton) attempting to illegally capture and move out exotic animals for an unknown mobster. Just as they are discovered and chased by the smugglers, the pair has their lives saved by unknown shadowed warriors who defeat the smugglers, destroy their weapons and vehicles and free the captured animals. The journalists' saviors are revealed to be Sonic the Hedgehog (Chris Evans) and his comrades Miles "Tails" Prower (Ty Simpkins) and Knuckles the Echidna (Michael B. Jordan). Sonic acknowledges the pair as reporters and Tails passes them a flash-drive containing the information their people will need about the world the trio came from before they depart in a incoming ship and the U.S.A. Marines arrive to retrieve the journalists and the apprehended the smugglers.

Elsewhere, Victoria "Vicky" Lane (Kirsten Dunst) and her fiancee Travis Lawton (Chris Pratt) attend to a lecture at the City College of New York, where their former teacher Professor Franklin Donovan (Jon Voight) tells the lecture guests about Mobius, a new tenth planet in Solar System which was discovered six months ago by scientists working for Vicky's father Joel Lane (Sam Elliott) at Lane Stargate (a new high-tech NASA influenced spacecraft company), although some more details have yet to be disclosed and what is already known is classified. Following an interview with a psychiatric hospital patient who claims to have been in Mobius before and seen its true nature, Vicky and Travis, both driven by curiosity, volunteer to travel to Mobius via a spaceship piloted by their long time friend Rick Kane (Donald Glover) and monitored by flight controller Ellie Jones (Whoopi Goldberg).

Meanwhile in Mobius, Sonic and his friends manage to stop Dr. Eggman (John Goodman) from another attempt to kidnap Princess Elise (Sophie Turner) and destroy Soleanna. Eggman is defeated by the group before he is apprehended by G.U.N. Units commissioned by Shadow the Hedgehog (Ben Affleck) and Commander Abraham Tower (Harrison Ford), leaving Eggman's robots leaderless and getting his loyal assistants Orbot and Cubot to find a temporary replacement for him. After a date with his sweetheart Amy Rose (Kristen Bell), Sonic is informed of the Lane Stargate spacecraft crew who went to visit Mobius and he and Amy go on to investigate. At the same time, Corvus escapes custody and sneaks into and hijacks one of the NASA Spacecrafts, setting course to Mobius, where the mobster who hired him (revealed to be Eggman) lives in.

Vicky, Travis and Rick arrive in Mobius, where they find and experiment on countless rings around the forest which can heal the wielder's injuries and diseases. Through the course, they meet Sonic and his friends before following them to Soleanna, where they are greeted by Elise. Corvus lands on Eggman's headquarters in the Death Egg Base, where Orbot and Cubot, still searching for a new replacement for their apprehended master, reluctantly accept Corvus as their new leader. Under his orders, the robots forcibly exact to activate Eggman's forbidden machines, inadvertently awakening Eggman's deadliest and most rebellious of the robots: Neo Metal Sonic (Josh Brolin), who then enslaves and takes command of the other robots and makes Corvus his servant, though Orbot and Cubot escape.

While their visitors learn more about Soleanna, Sonic and Tails visit Prison Island, where Eggman is still held in custody for his crimes. Orbot and Cubot arrive to warn Sonic and Shadow about the situation in the Death Egg Base. Metal Sonic sends Eggman's robots to attack Prison Island and retrieve Eggman to enslave him. Sonic and Shadow battle and repel the robots, though Tower is wounded in the fight. Deducing that Metal Sonic is after the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic's group and Travis' crew agree to work for a way to collect them all before Metal Sonic does.

Tails and Rick travel to Angel Island. where they implant cloaking devices to keep the Master Emerald safe from Metal Sonic's sight. Sonic and Knuckles travel to Earth and collect three Emeralds which appeared in there. In the progress, the duo also wins Joel and Ellie's trust by defeating some smugglers hired by Corvus to assault Lane Stargate as Vicky's daughter Felicia (Isabella Sermon) bonds with Sonic. Shadow and Travis retrieve three Emeralds in a ravaged sector of Eggman's research labs, where they defeat the reactivated E-101 Mark II and Shadow Android Prime with help from Shadow's G.U.N. comrade Omega. Vicky and Amy travel search for the last Emerald in the Soul Realm of Soleanna, where Maria Robotnik, who was revived as the keeper of the Emerald, informs Vicky that the Emerald can only be retrieved by her memories of someone she mourns. Vicky tearfully remembers the death of her husband Scott, earning the Emerald.
