Dr. Jumba Jookiba is put on trial by the Galactic Federation for "illegal genetic experimentation”, as evidenced by his Experiment 626, a living creature capable of creating untold chaos. Jumba is imprisoned while Experiment 626 is to be exiled. 626 manages to escape in a spaceship and activates the hyperdrive, but its guidance systems malfunction and randomly set a course for Earth. The Grand Councilwoman dispatches Jumba and Agent Pleakley, the Council's Earth expert, to the planet to capture 626 discreetly. 626 lands on the Hawaiian island of Kauaʻi, but is knocked unconscious by a ping truck, and is taken to an animal shelter.
On Kauaʻi, Nani is struggling to care for her rambunctious younger sister, Lilo. A social worker named Cobra Bubbles expresses concern that Nani may not be able to adequately care for Lilo. Seeking a change, Nani decides to allow Lilo to adopt a dog, where she immediately takes a keen interest in Experiment 626, who is impersonating a dog in order to escape. Lilo names 626 "Stitch" and shows him around the island. As Nani attempts to find a good job, Lilo tries educating Stitch about Elvis Presley, whom she calls a "model citizen". However, Stitch's antics, which include foiling Jumba and Pleakley's attempts to capture him, ruin Nani's chances of getting a job.
David, a friend of Nani's, invites Nani and Lilo to take a break and enjoy a day of surfing. While Nani, Lilo, and Stitch ride on a huge wave, Jumba makes one more effort to capture Stitch from underwater, causing Nani to wipe out, and Stitch to unintentionally pull Lilo down with him. Although everyone gets safely to shore, Cobra witnesses the event and tells Nani that even though she means well, Lilo’s best interests mean she must be placed with a foster family. After Stitch sees how much trouble he has caused, he leaves. Meanwhile, the Councilwoman relieves Jumba and Pleakley of their ignment, which frees Jumba to pursue Stitch using less covert methods.
The next morning, David tells Nani of a job opportunity, which Nani rushes to pursue. Stitch, hiding in the nearby woods, encounters Jumba, who chases Stitch back to Lilo’s house. The two fight, destroying the house in the process as Nani returns and Cobra arrives to collect Lilo. As Nani and Cobra argue, Lilo runs away and encounters Stitch, who reveals his true form just as both are captured by Captain Gantu, who has been given the task of recovering Stitch. Stitch escapes before the ship takes off and is confronted by Nani. Before he can explain everything, Jumba and Pleakley capture Stitch themselves. Nani demands they rescue Lilo, but Jumba insists they only came for Stitch. As Nani breaks down over losing her sister, Stitch tells Nani about ʻohana, a term for "family" he learned from Lilo, and convinces Jumba to help rescue Lilo. As Jumba, Pleakley and Nani give chase in Jumba’s spaceship, Stitch drives a tanker truck full of fuel into a lava flow and uses the exploding tank to launch himself into Gantu’s cockpit, where he distracts Gantu enough to crash-land the ship and rescue Lilo.
Back on land, the Grand Councilwoman appears and takes Stitch into custody, but when Stitch explains that he has found a family in Nani and Lilo, she realizes he has become a civilized creature. The Councilwoman decrees that Stitch will be exiled on Earth and entrusted into the care of Lilo and Nani, and asks Cobra to keep an eye on them. She also exiles Jumba and Pleakley to Earth, where they become part of Lilo and Stitch’s new family as well.
