Earth to Echo‘s trailer makes the sci-fi film seem like a combination of The Goonies, ET, and Super 8. There’s a group of kids on one last adventure before their neighborhood’s destroyed (Goonies), the discovery of an apparently friendly alien who just wants to go home (ET), and the need to keep their discovery secret because adults wouldn’t believe them anyway/would lock up the alien (Goonies, ET, and Super 8).
Coming to theaters on July 2, 2014, Relativity Media’s Earth to Echo was directed by Dave Green and stars Teo Halm, Brian “Astro” Bradley, Reese Hartwig, and Ella Linnea Wahlestedt.
The Plot:
Tuck, Munch and Alex are a closely bonded trio of inseparable friends, but their time together is coming to an end. Their neighborhood is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is forcing their families to move away. But just two days before they must part ways, the boys find a cryptic signal has infected their phones.
Convinced something bigger is going on and looking for one final adventure together, they set off to trace the messages to their source and discover something beyond their wildest imaginations: hiding in the darkness is a mysterious being, stranded on Earth, and wanted by the government. This launches the boys on an epic journey full of danger and wonder, one that will test the limits of their friendship and change all of their lives forever.
