In a soon to be demolished block of apartments, the residents resist the criminal methods used to force them to leave so a greedy tycoon can build his new skyscraper. When tiny mechanical aliens land for a recharge, they decide to stay and help out.

**Is it right for your kids?** A rating tells you what a board thought. It does not tell you whether your eight year old will be bored, or whether there is one scene you will be explaining in the car afterward.

We are building the answer families actually want: the honest take from households you know, matched to the ages of the children in your house. [Sign in to get started](/login).
