Plot Synopsis:

While the seemingly well-to-do Sam (Jodie Whittaker) is being mugged one starry night, an alien shoots from the sky and crash-lands right next to a crew of South London teens. Upon their inspection, the creature takes a swipe at the face of stoic leader Moses (John Boyega), and being as fearless as they are, the group, rounded out by Dennis (Franz Drameh), Biggz (Simon Howard), Pest (Alex Esmail) and Jerome (Leeon Jones), set off after it, claiming its life as their prize while failing to think about any otherworldly consequences. Soon, a full-blown invasion is underway, and the boys, along with Sam, clueless pothead Brewis (Luke Treadaway), charismatic dealer Roy (Nick Frost of SHAUN OF THE DEAD) and very angry drug lord Hi-Hatz (Jumayn Hunter), must face the ever-growing horde of critters.
