Plot

In this movie, Jefferson Smith gets to Bio-Constrictor's base. There he finds several Bio-Con's clones in stasis, most of them failed experiments, with one exception: one of them, Elementor, wakes up and looks up for five different Elementium isotopes. Each isotope grants hims the power to control and mimic one specific element: Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. Once in possession of this 4 ones, the power to control metal is granted as an extra bonus. One by one, Elementor absorbs the isotopes and gains new powers. Then Jefferson puts Max under arrest, but Max is able to break free, while Elementor attacks N-Tek. Max and Jeff find a way to escape but before they succeed, Jefferson reveals to Max that years ago when he was transformed into "Max Steel" in order to save his life the fifth isotope was placed inside Max's body, and that is why he put him under house arrest. After a brief confrontation with Elementor, Berto and Kat discovers that the fifth Isotope makes the others go haywire, so Max decides to confront Elementor instead of running away. At the final battle, Max releases the power of the fifth isotope until its overcharge destroys Elementor.

Continuity change

Is this film, the continuity is altered, as well as the creation of Max Steel. In the TV series, Josh was outside N-Tek when he noticed someone sneaking around, he followed him. Later, Josh and the man are captured and handcuffed by N-Tek agents. The man breaks free, and Josh does too. Josh follows the man and sees him standing in front of a glass container, full of green goo. Josh sees the man is stealing some of the goo. After the man sees Josh, they fight. Eventually, Josh kicks the mans face, it is revealed to be a metal face (the man is Psycho). Psycho kicks Josh back, then fires his laser at Josh. The blast misses Josh, but hits the container, shattering the glass and the green stuff goes all over Josh. The man leaves, thinking Josh will die. The green goo is actually nanomachines, known to the company as "Nano-Tech Max." Later, 'Berto tells Josh's father that the probes are dying, and need trasphasic energy to survive. Jeff finds it too risky, but Josh tells him to. The transphasic energy saves Josh. However, it also gives him the ability to change appearances and gives him superpowers. Thus, the creation of "Max Steel." In the movie, it is stated that Josh has suffered from an accident (the "accident" is never said). He is dying, so some scientists tell Jeff that Josh will need transphasic energy. Jeff allows them. However, it doesn't work. Jeff then decides to try the 5th elementium isotope, the scientist declines, but Jeff demands. The isotope works, saving Josh's life. How Josh became "Max Steel" and why his appearance is different isn't actually said.
