Watch Ender's Game

Ender’s Game is set in a futuristic society where humankind has faced possible annihilation at the hands of a technologically superior alien race. Humanity bands together to create a school where exceptional children can be trained to become warriors against the alien opponents. Ender Wiggin, despite some behavioral issues, is accepted into this elite school and trained as a soldier. Ender is surrounded by other capable children and has a difficult time fitting in as his instructors and several school bullies continue to alienate him. Set apart from the rest, Ender begins to train relentlessly and moves up through the ranks ahead of his classmates.

The movie depicts children in a very different world being given difficult and adult tasks despite their young age. Tensions run high amongst the students and teachers, and humanity stands on edge as the fate of their species is determined by a special few.
