More Detail:
The evil robots are planning a full-scale invasion of Alpha Centrauri, but Will Robinson is bedridden because of the new heart he received after the evil robot leader destroyed his old heart. Meanwhile, Will’s parents and Don West are involved in restoring the planet’s shields while Will’s sisters are traveling in a caravan with him and the other children of the colony to safety underground.
However, the robot ship just manages to make it through the shields at the last moment, though the ship crashes. Their ship has an engine that can be used to destroy the colony and the whole planet, if need be. Will risks his life to alert Judy and Penny to stop the robots from using the engine. Penny figures out a way to establish peace with some of the robots, but will it be enough to stop their evil brothers and sisters?
