Doctor Who: The Movie is a stepping stone between what preceded it and what would eventually succeed it, but it feels and acts like nothing else in this universe. A fresh start that heavily connects to the previous season which still succeeds by being a fast paced adventure filled with adorable Y2K anxiety.

The Doctor, an alien time traveller from the planet Gallifrey, is transporting the remains of his nemesis, the Master back to their homeworld. However the Master is not as dead as the Doctor thinks. The Master's essence escapes and sabotages the TARDIS, the Doctor's time machine causing it to crash land in San Franscisco on December 30th 1999.
