Click 2 (2025) picks up 15 years after the events of the original Click. Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) has learned to live a simpler, more meaningful life after his life-altering experience with the universal remote. However, his peaceful existence is disrupted when his now-adult daughter, Samantha (played by a new cast member), stumbles upon a mysterious, upgraded version of the remote. Unlike the original, this new remote has even more advanced features, including the ability to manipulate not just time but also alternate realities.
Samantha, curious and unaware of the consequences, begins using the remote to fix her mistakes and explore “what could have been” in her life. This creates a ripple effect, causing chaos in the timeline and threatening the fabric of reality itself. Michael, realizing the danger, teams up with his wife Donna (Kate Beckinsale) and Morty (Christopher Walken), the enigmatic angel of death, to stop the remote from destroying their world.
The climax sees Michael and Samantha navigating through alternate realities, including a dystopian future where technology has taken over humanity. In the end, Samantha learns the same lesson her father did years ago: life’s imperfections are what make it beautiful. The family destroys the remote once and for all, restoring balance to their lives.
