Although talented, Hiro tends to waste his talent by taking part in illegal bot fights in the alleys of the city for money. Tadashi, who attended the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, attempted to steer Hiro on a more positive path by introducing him to the technology lab on his campus.
The Beginning Of The Adventure
At University, Hiro meets Tadashi's friends: Go Go Tomago, a formidable speed enthusiast; Wasabi, a perfectionist adept with laser technology; Honey Lemon, a cheerful chemist; and Fred, an eccentric comic book fan. Hiro is also fascinated by Baymax, a nursing robot created by Tadashi designed to care for human physical and mental health. To be accepted into the Institute, Hiro attends a science fair and creates microbots—micro-robots that can be controlled with the mind through neurotransmitters. His discovery amazed everyone, including Professor Robert Callaghan, Head of the robotics program, and Alistair Krei, an ambitious technology entrepreneur.
However, tragedy struck after the exhibition. A mysterious fire engulfed the Exhibition Building, and Tadashi was killed while trying to save Callaghan, who is believed to have also died. Hiro, who lost his brother and his microbots in a fire, falls into deep grief and isolates himself.
Kebangkitan Hiro dan Baymax
Inadvertently, Hiro activates Baymax, who begins to nurse him according to his program. Baymax detects Hiro's grief and attempts to help, though often in funny and naive ways. Upon finding one microbot that survived the fire, Hiro realizes that his creation was not completely destroyed. The Microbot takes Hiro and Baymax to a warehouse, where they discover someone is mass-producing microbots. The person, wearing a kabuki mask, attacks them with microbots.
Hiro, convinced that the masked man was responsible for the fire and Tadashi's death, decides to go after him. He modifies Baymax from a nurse robot into a fighting machine with armor and martial abilities. Hiro juga merekrut teman-teman Tadashi—Go Go, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, dan Fred—untuk membentuk tim pahlawan super bernama Big Hero 6.

Mystery and conflict
With the help of Baymax, the team tracks the masked man to the port and discovers that microbots are being used to steal technology from Krei Tech, Alistair Krei's company. Hiro suspects Krei to be the mastermind behind the kabuki masks, but their investigation brings another surprise. In a secret laboratory, the team discovers footage revealing that Krei once experimented with teleportation technology that failed, leaving a test pilot, Abigail Callaghan, trapped in another dimension. The masked person turns out to be Professor Callaghan, who survived the fire and uses microbots to take revenge on Krei, whom he blames for the disappearance of his daughter.
Hiro feels betrayed as Tadashi sacrifices his life to save Callaghan, who turns out to be alive. In anger, he orders Baymax to kill Callaghan, but the team stops him. Hiro leaves the team, feeling they don't understand his pain. At home, Baymax shows Tadashi footage of developing Baymax, reminding Hiro of his brother's values about helping others. Hiro realizes his mistake and reunites with the team.
