Emmet Brickowski è un cittadino felice di una ridente metropoli fatta di Lego di cui rispetta tutte le regole: segue la musica trasmessa dalla tv, è gentile con gli altri e si reca diligentemente al lavoro (costruire palazzi) esattamente come gli viene detto di fare dalle "istruzioni". Proprio al cantiere un giorno incontra una ragazza e per errore casca in una voragine nella quale entra in contatto con un pezzo speciale, oggetto del desiderio di una setta di ribelli di cui Emmet non conosceva l'esistenza. La sua vita viene così trasformata in quella di un avventuriero e, nonostante non ne abbia le qualità, l'aver ritrovato il pezzo speciale lo rende "il prescelto". Scopre così che il sindaco della sua città è in realtà un dittatore di diversi mondi (fantasy, west, spazio ecc. ecc.) dotato di un piano per cambiare l'universo come lo conoscono.
