Plot
Official transcript

At a local family pizzeria named Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a child named Cassidy is celebrating her 8th birthday with her friends. But while waiting for her mom to arrive with the presents, a man in a yellow rabbit suit comes out, and claims that he has a present for all of them. He leads them away from the party, and it's soon shown that the kids are missing, and the police begin investigating. They manage to find the suit that was worn, and find blood on it. They arrest an employee usually known for wearing costumes at the restaurant, which closes down temporarily due to the incident. However, that night, a man exits the establishment, and once he's gone, the Freddy Fazbear animatronic's eyes glow.

Months later, a man named Mike Schmidt admits to his mother Amy Schmidt that he quit his job at a construction site due to his boss being unreasonable. She encourages him to find another job, assuring him that everything will turn out ok. She even offers to let him stay with her until things work out, but Mike refuses. Mike eventually finds an ad for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which is looking for a new night guard. Mike quickly applies for the job, and is accepted by the company's boss Steve Raglan, being given a five-night shift from Monday to Friday.

During his first night, things go relatively uneventful, and Mike ends up falling asleep. But when he wakes up, he finds the Bonnie the Bunny animatronic missing from the stage. Afraid that somebody broke in and stole it, he searches around the location, finding Bonnie in the storage closet. Confused, Mike puts him back on stage, unaware that Bonnie starts watching him when he's not looking.

The next morning, he informs the manager, Jeremy, but he tells Mike that what might have happened was that Bonnie got off stage himself, stating that the animatronics are able to roam the building free at night, although they don't know why. Mike dismisses this, believing it to be nonsense.

On the second night, Mike gets hungry and heads into the kitchen to cook himself a pizza. But when he leaves it for a moment and returns, it's gone. As he starts looking for it, he gets distracted by a cupcake prop, and is soon attacked by the Chica the Chicken animatronic. Mike hides in the office, and finds Bonnie moving as well. Realizing that the animatronics are hunting him down, he stays in the office, and is able to survive the night.

Mike is left unable to sleep the next night, terrified of going back to the pizzeria. But he quickly reminds himself of the current situation he's facing, and reluctantly returns. On the third night, Mike checks out Pirate's Cove, a side-attraction to the pizzeria, where a pirate animatronic named Foxy the Pirate Fox resides. Foxy ends up coming to life and attacks Mike, along with Bonnie and Chica, forcing Mike to in the office. He manages to survive, but ends up hearing voices as he's leaving.

After having a nightmare about the animatronics, he starts to wonder why they're moving in the first place, and starts to do research into the paranormal and Fazbear entertainment's history. He discovers the company's troubled past, and learns about the missing children's incident with Cassidy and her friends. He then goes to ask Steve about it, but he tells Mike nothing more than to mind his own business.

Suspicious, Mike returns on the fourth night, and begins to use paranormal investigation devices to discover if the animatronics are possessed by the souls of the children in the missing children's incident. Initially, he gets no proof, but he finally does get a single message from one of the devices that simply says "IT'S ME", which he takes as confirmation of his theory. He is attacked by the Freddy animatronic, but manages to hide in the office, and fends himself from the others throughout the night, though he is almost killed by Freddy after the building goes into a blackout. But he is saved when it becomes 6:00 AM at the last second.

At home, Mike continues his paranormal research, and is informed by his fellow employee Henry that he will be filling in for Mike that night. But during his investigation, Mike ends up realizing that there are only 4 animatronics, but 5 missing children. Confused, Mike goes to the pizzeria on the fifth night anyways, and tries to find out where the fifth child could be. During his search, he finds Henry's body stuffed inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Mike finally ends up finding a costume for a yellow version of Freddy called Golden Freddy. The suit then comes to life, revealing itself to be possessed by the soul of Cassidy. Golden Freddy attempts to kill Mike, but he escapes.

Just as Mike is escaping, he encounters Steve Raglan, who confesses to Mike that his name is actually William Afton, and he is the one who killed the children possessing the animatronics. He reveals that his motive for killing them stems from a hatred of children he developed after losing his children in an accident. William then prepares to kill Mike, but Mike runs back into the pizzeria to call the police, but before Mike can tell the police William's name, the line is cut by William, who is now wearing the same Spring Bonnie suit he used to kill the children.

Mike ultimately starts fighting back against William, but is overpowered. The animatronics, finally recognizing William from the suit, attempt to kill him, but are taken down by William destroying them with an axe. Ultimately, Mike manages to catch William off-guard, and kills him by activating the suit's springlocks, crushing William. As the police arrive, Mike is gone, having left behind a resignation note. The restaurant closes down permanently, William's body is left inside a hidden room within the pizzeria, and Mike finally accepts his mother's offer to stay with her until things improve for him. That afternoon, Mike sets up make-shift graves for the children, hoping that they rest well.
