In the distant future, the gargantuan blue humanoid Draags have brought human beings (who are called Oms as a play on the French word for "man", Homme) from Earth to the planet Ygam, where they maintain a technologically and spiritually advanced society. They consider them animals, and while some Oms are kept as pets by Draags, others live in the strange wilderness and are periodically slaughtered by the Draags who wish to keep their population controlled. Draags have much longer lifespans than Oms, but reproduce much less.

The peaceful people of Gandahar are suddenly attacked by an army of automatons known as the Men of Metal, who march through the villages and kidnap their victims by turning them to stone. The resulting statues are collected and then transferred to their base. At the capital city of Jasper, the Council of Women orders Sylvain to investigate. On his journey, he encounters the Deformed, a race of mutant beings who were accidentally created via genetic experimentation by Gandahar’s scientists. Despite their resentment, they are also threatened by the Men of Metal and offer to help Sylvain.

L'histoire se déroule dans la Chine médiévale. Enfermé dans le chariot qui l'emmène au palais de l'empereur en compagnie de son maître Wang-Fô, le jeune disciple se souvient de sa première rencontre avec le peintre, puis de la fascination progressive qu'il a éprouvé pour ses tableaux : lorsque Wang-Fô peignit plusieurs portraits de l'épouse du disciple, ce dernier en vint à trouver les portraits plus beaux que son épouse réelle, au point qu'elle finit par se donner la mort. Après ces flashbacks, Wang-Fô et son disciple parviennent au palais et sont amenés devant l'empereur. Wang-Fô implore l'empereur de le pardonner s'il a, d'aventure, réalisé un mauvais portrait de lui par le passé. L'empereur le détrompe, et, pour lui faire comprendre ce qu'il lui reproche, lui raconte son histoire. Dès son enfance, l'empereur vit seul au palais, parmi les tableaux de Wang-Fô dont son père était un admirateur. Après de longues années à grandir parmi les sublimes tableaux du maître, l'empereur, parvenu à l'âge adulte, découvre pour la première fois le monde réel, mais celui-ci lui paraît laid et méprisable comparé aux images qu'en peignait Wang-Fô. C'est là ce que l'empereur reproche au peintre : Wang-Fô lui a inspiré le dégoût de son propre royaume, et le désir d'un royaume d'images sur lequel il ne pourra jamais régner.

Set in the future, the film's prologue depicts Jim Hawkins as a five-year-old (voiced by Austin Majors) reading a storybook in bed. Jim is enchanted by stories of the legendary pirate Captain Flint and his ability to appear from nowhere, raid passing ships, and disappear in order to hide the loot on the mysterious "Treasure Planet". Twelve years later, Jim (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) has grown into an aloof and alienated teenager. He is shown begrudgingly helping his mother Sarah (Laurie Metcalf) run an inn and deriving amusement from "solar surfing" (a hybrid of skysurfing and windsurfing atop a board attached to a solar sail-powered rocket), a pastime that frequently gets him in trouble.

In 2069, the unmanned Sun Probe locates a planet lying on the same orbital path as Earth on the opposite side of the Sun. Dr Kurt Hassler (Herbert Lom) of the European Space Exploration Council (EUROSEC) has been relaying the spacecraft's flight data to a rival power in the East; after tracing the transmissions to Hassler's laboratory, Security Chief Mark Neuman (George Sewell) catches the scientist in the act and kills him. EUROSEC director Jason Webb (Patrick Wymark) convinces NASA representative David Poulson (Ed Bishop) that the West must be the first to send a mission to investigate the planet.
