Plot

     At night when Litwak's Arcade closes, the various video game characters congregate in Game Central Station. At the game Fix-It Felix, Jr., the characters celebrate the game's titular hero but shun its villain, Wreck-It Ralph. At a support group for video game villains, Ralph reveals he doesn't want to be a bad guy anymore. Returning to his own game, Ralph finds the other characters celebrating their game's anniversary and that he was not invited. Felix reluctantly invites Ralph to join them, but the others refuse to accept him, saying he'd have to win a medal, just as Felix does.
     While visiting Tapper's, Ralph meets a soldier from Hero's Duty, a first-person shooter, who tells him the game's winner receives a medal. Ralph enters the game and encounters Sergeant Calhoun, its no-nonsense leader. Between game sessions, Ralph climbs the game's central beacon and collects the medal, accidentally hatching a Cy-Bug, one of the game's enemies, in the process. The Cy-bug clings to Ralph as he stumbles into an escape pod that launches him out of the game. Meanwhile, Ralph's absence has not gone unnoticed, as a girl tells Litwak that Fix-It Felix, Jr. is malfunctioning. Since broken games are unplugged, leaving their characters homeless, Felix sets off to find Ralph.
     Ralph crash-lands in Sugar Rush, a kart-racing game. As he searches for his medal, he meets Vanellope von Schweetz, a glitchy character who makes off with the medal, planning to use it to buy entry into an after-hours race. But King Candy and the other racers refuse to let Vanellope participate, claiming she's not really part of the game. Ralph and Vanellope build a kart for her, and Ralph teaches Vanellope how to drive in Diet Cola Mountain, an unfinished game level where Vanellope lives.
     Back in Hero's Duty, Felix meets Calhoun, who explains that the Cy-Bugs can take over any game they enter. As the pair searches for Ralph and the Cy-Bug in Sugar Rush, they become separated. Calhoun discovers the Cy-Bug has laid hundreds of eggs, and Felix becomes imprisoned in King Candy's castle. Meanwhile, King Candy finds Ralph's medal and offers it to Ralph in exchange for keeping Vanellope out of the race. He explains that if her glitches cause the game to be unplugged, Vanellope will be stranded in it forever. Fearing for Vanellope's safety, Ralph wrecks the kart and returns to Fix-It Felix, Jr.. He finds the game deserted, as everyone has evacuated in expectation that their game will be unplugged in the morning. Ralph then notices Vanellope's image on the Sugar Rush' cabinet and realizes she is supposed to be part of the game and not a glitch.
     Ralph returns to Sugar Rush and, upon locating Felix and Vanellope, asks Felix to fix the wrecked kart so Vanellope can race. As the race proceeds, the hatched Cy-Bugs attack and Felix, Calhoun and Ralph battle them. When Vanellope catches up to King Candy, Vanellope's glitches reveal the king is actually Turbo, a character from an unplugged racing game, who has taken control of Sugar Rush. Vanellope uses her glitching to escape from Turbo, who is consumed by a Cy-Bug. The group flees the doomed game, but Vanellope cannot pass through the exit. Calhoun says the game can't be saved because there is no beacon in the game; the beacon in Hero's Duty attracts and kills the Cy-Bugs.
     Ralph heads to Diet Cola Mountain, where he plans on collapsing its Mentos stalactites into the cola at the bottom, causing an eruption that would attract the bugs. Before he can finish, Turbo, merged with the Cy-Bug that consumed him, carries him away. Ralph breaks free and dives toward the mountain, hoping his impact will start the eruption. Vanellope in turn uses her glitching abilities to catch Ralph. The eruption draws all the Cy-Bugs to their destruction, including the Turbo Cy-Bug. Vanellope crosses the finish line, restoring her memory as the game's lead character.Felix and Tamora become husband and wife. Felix and Ralph return to Fix-It Felix, Jr. in time to show Litwak the game works, sparing it and giving its characters a new respect for Ralph's work as the villain.
