00:00After acing all his college entrance exams, Luke Ellis, a 14-year-old prodigy, wins a scholarship
00:06to MIT. During dinner, he talks to his parents about the offer he received. Although they are
00:11not happy about their son's departure, Herb and Eileen decide to support him in his decision,
00:16as they want Luke to have the chance to explore his full potential. Later, in the early hours of
00:21the morning, the family is asleep when their home is invaded by a group of agents sent to capture
00:25the young genius who lives in Minneapolis. Meanwhile, in the state of Maine, Tim decides
00:31to apply for a night watchman position, as he has extensive experience as a police officer in
00:35Boston. Some time ago, Tim was off duty from the police force, but had been drinking before he saw
00:41a young man taking a gun out of the trunk of his car. When confronted by a police officer,
00:46the criminal attacked him, so Tim reacted to the attack. As revealed by a test that he had been
00:51drinking, he ended up being dismissed from his position in the police force. After losing
00:55his job, Tim began drinking heavily and ended up destroying his marriage. When he realizes that
01:01he is dealing with a guy who is trying to start his life over, Sheriff John decides to hire him
01:05and says he will start work that night. In the morning, when Luke opens his eyes, he realizes he
01:10is in his room and feels relieved to believe that what happened the night before was just a dream.
01:15However, when he opens the door, he realizes that it is only a replica of his room and that he has
01:20actually been taken to an institute along with several other gifted young people. Upon meeting
01:25Kalisha, the young man begins to ask countless questions and discovers that the young people
01:29who are recruited to be part of the institute are divided into two groups, those who have telepathic
01:34abilities and those who are capable of practicing telekinesis. Throughout his life, Luke has made
01:39objects move around him, but he has never had control over this power. After explaining the rules
01:44of the place, Kalisha advises the newcomer to do as the supervisors say, and then decides to kiss
01:50him. At that moment, Trevor appears and asks the young man to go meet Mrs. Sigsby. Without understanding
01:56what is happening, Luke goes to meet the director of the institute in hopes of getting answers to his
02:00questions. As soon as he enters the room, Luke asks to speak to his parents, but Sigsby says that
02:06won't be possible. According to her, all the young people at that institute have an extremely important
02:11mission to fulfill, and their efforts will save humanity. The director says that once he has made
02:16his contribution by allowing his brain to be studied, Luke will have his memory erased and be
02:21taken back home. In the meantime, the young man will have to learn to enjoy his stay at the institute
02:26and is forced to allow Tony to place a tracking chip in his ear. Later, during dinner, Luke meets
02:31the other young people who are also trapped in the institute and is impressed by George's abilities.
02:36Although he can't do much with his powers, the young man is able to control them, something Luke has
02:41never been able to do. After helping to capture the newcomer, Michelle was unhappy with the direction the
02:46mission took, as there were some unforeseen events after Luke was blackout. Noticing that his
02:51collaborator is acting strangely, Trevor decides to have a conversation with her, and Michelle reveals
02:56her dissatisfaction with her job. Later, she goes out to meet her girlfriend, who is a journalist,
03:02and begins to feel compelled to tell her the whole truth. Michelle's hope is that Kate can help her
03:07expose the institute's existence to the authorities, but before she has a chance to expose the company
03:12where she works, Michelle is eliminated. After cowardly shooting her girlfriend, Kate calls
03:17Trevor and says he was right about Michelle being untrustworthy. The next morning, Luke wakes up to
03:22the news that Iris is going home. After contributing to the institute's research, the young woman can
03:27finally say goodbye to her friends before having her memory erased. Seeing his friend apprehensive about
03:32what is about to happen, Nick tries to reassure her, even though he knows there is no guarantee
03:37that Iris will return home safely. As soon as the girl is taken to the back, where the young people
03:42spend a few days before returning to their families, Luke is escorted to the lab, where he will receive
03:47an injection and undergo aptitude tests. After taking two doses of a mysterious substance, Luke manages
03:54to put his powers into practice and uses telekinesis to lift a toolbox. When he realizes that the young
03:59man is exhausted, Dr. Hendricks decides to postpone the tests, and Luke walks to the cafeteria to have
04:05lunch with his friends. At that moment, Luke and Nick decide to orchestrate an escape plan to get
04:10out of that place instead of waiting for their captors to release them. During a basketball game,
04:15the young men discuss the best strategy to adopt and come to the conclusion that they need to recruit
04:19one of the employees to help them. To do this, they will need Kalisha's help to read the supervisor's
04:24minds and find out which one of them has a reason to participate in the escape. Suddenly, looking outside
04:30the walls, Luke sees two chimneys releasing smoke and asks what is causing it, but Nick does not know
04:35the answer. According to the young man, the chimneys are lit almost every week, but none of them know
04:40the real reason. Later, after passing through the dream box, George reveals that his powers have been
04:46amplified and he can now get several items from the candy machine with a single token. Excited about his
04:51friend's new abilities, Luke shares the news with the rest of the team, and Nick says that as soon as
04:56George can move the lights in the dream box, he will supposedly be taken home. Upon hearing this,
05:01Kalisha wonders if Iris and the other teenagers who passed through there really returned to their
05:05families, but Nick is convinced that everything they say there is a lie. That night, when he is
05:10already in bed, Luke hears a child crying in the hallway and goes out to see what is happening.
05:15When they see the new team member lying on the floor, all the young people gather around him to
05:20try to calm him down, and Kalisha soon realizes that Avery is a great telepath. When he is taken to the
05:25testing room for the second time, Luke receives another injection, and Tony forces him to keep
05:31his gaze fixed on a screen. At that moment, the young man sees some colored dots of light and his
05:36nose starts to bleed. While monitoring his test subject's brain activity, Dr. Hendricks realizes
05:41that Luke's powers are developing, but interrupts the experiment when he sees the young man suffer a
05:46seizure. When he regains consciousness, he begs to be taken back to his room and realizes that he needs
05:52to escape from that place as soon as possible. During breakfast, Luke realizes that Avery is
05:57exactly what he needs to carry out his escape plan, because with the boy's abilities, it will be much
06:02easier to identify an employee who is likely to help them. Suddenly, during the meal, Avery hears a very
06:08loud buzzing sound coming from the other side of the facility, and besides him, only Kalisha can hear
06:14it. A few miles away lives a homeless woman. Everyone treats her like she's crazy because they don't
06:19understand her telepathic abilities, except for Tim. Although he does not understand how the elderly
06:24woman can read his thoughts, the former police officer always pays attention to what she has to
06:29say, and this time, Annie advises him to stay away from Route 10, where the supposed infectious disease
06:35research center is located, which is actually just a cover to camouflage the existence of the institute.
06:40While walking through the corridors with Avery, Luke discovers that Maureen is full of secrets and hates
06:45that place as much as the young people who live there. That night, before going to work, Tim decides
06:50to stop by a bar for a drink and meets Kate, who immediately starts chatting with him. During the
06:55conversation, the night watchman takes the opportunity to ask about the Route 10 laboratory, and the
07:00journalist says she has been trying for years to get information to write an article about it. At that
07:05moment, Tim shares some information he received from Annie, but Kate manages to convince him that what the
07:10old woman said is nothing more than rumors. Observing the guards who provide security on the other side
07:15of the fence, Luke notices a pattern and states that they patrol every six hours. Therefore, the best time
07:21to escape is during the shift change. When she sees the guard accompanied by a German shepherd, Avery uses his
07:27powers to enter the dog's mind, and for a few minutes, he can see everything he sees. Thanks to the animal,
07:33the young man discovers that there is another fence on the outside and the only way to cross it is to dig a
07:38hole underneath it. At that moment, Kalisha appears and Avery interrupts the connection with the dog,
07:43as he realizes that the girl is not well. She says she just came out of the dream box and managed to
07:48connect with the buzzing sound Avery heard nights ago. This means that soon, Kalisha will be taken
07:53away, as happened to Iris, and will never see her friends again. At dawn, Mrs. Sigsby and her team show
08:00up with a cake to congratulate Kalisha on the success of her mission and thank her for her sacrifice.
08:04According to the woman, the next step will be to erase the young woman's memories so she can be
08:09sent back home. Before going to the bag, Kalisha asks all her friends to hold hands to say goodbye,
08:15but Sigsby orders the security guards to drag the girl out. Using his powers, Avery tries to follow
08:20his friend, but ends up losing the connection minutes later and is unable to find out what
08:25happened to her. That night, when he passes by Annie's tent, Tim decides to pay her a visit and
08:30comes across the elderly woman's lifeless body, who apparently ended up drinking too much.
08:3524 hours have passed since Kalisha was taken, and so far, Avery has been unable to establish any
08:40connection with her. During breakfast, two twins arrive at the cafeteria and are greeted by Luke
08:45and the other young people. Then Harry shows up and pushes Avery away when the boy tries to approach
08:50him to welcome him. Immediately, Nick and the others rally to protect their friend and knock down
08:55the troublemaker, who soon accepts his defeat. Realizing that Harry is as scared as any young
09:00person arriving at that institute, Luke and Nick team up to help him calm down. While they're talking
09:05in the courtyard, Trevor shows up to take the newcomer to Mrs. Sigsby's office, and Luke manages
09:11to read Harry's thoughts. At that moment, Avery realizes that his friend has acquired the power of
09:16telepathy, and Luke begins to think of a strategy to hide the fact that he has both abilities.
09:21The problem is that Dr. Hendrix is already suspicious that Luke is a special young man
09:25and decides to conduct a new test to assess his psychic abilities. However, even though he is
09:30forced to watch disturbing images, which theoretically would help awaken his powers, the young man manages
09:36to hide his connection to the buzzing. At dusk, with Avery's help, Luke contacts Kalisha and is
09:41relieved to learn that she is alive. Like Kalisha, Iris is also being kept under supervision in a department
09:47on the other side of the institute, and Luke realizes that all the young people there have
09:51been affected by the mysterious substance. According to Kalisha, in a few days, Iris will
09:56be sent to the recovery room, and Avery claims that this is where the buzzing is coming from.
10:01Convinced that Annie did not lose her life through her own fault, Tim decides to investigate the tent
10:05where the elderly woman lived in search of clues about what really happened, and the next morning,
10:10he takes the bottle of drink to Wendy for analysis. Every time he saw Annie, Tim noticed that she was
10:15wearing lipstick, but there are no lipstick marks on the bottle's spout, which means she never drank
10:20that beverage. During the night, Luke has a dream and discovers that the twins are in danger.
10:25She immediately runs to Harry's room and tries to open the door, but finds that it is locked.
10:30Desperate, the young man asks Tony for help, and when he opens the door, the man sees Greta being
10:35beaten while trying to help Harry calm down. The next morning, upon being informed of what happened,
10:41Dr. Hendricks decides to run a new battery of tests on Luke to prove that the young man has
10:45the ability to read minds. However, even after several minutes of being attacked in an air
10:50deprivation chamber, the young man continues to hide his abilities, and the doctor orders
10:55Tony to take him back to his room. When he sees Maureen helping Luke lie down on his bed,
11:00Avery manages to read her mind and discovers what is happening inside the recovery room.
11:04According to the young man, that is where Greta and all the teenagers are taken when their minds
11:09collapse. After her twin sister was cowardly eliminated, Greta went into shock and stopped
11:14communicating, becoming useless for the institute's tests. As a result, she was sent to the recovery
11:19room, where, after undergoing several experiments, most young people can no longer resist and their
11:25bodies are destroyed in flames so that no trace remains. At that moment, Luke discovers that the
11:30smoke coming out of the chimneys is from the bodies of his colleagues. In the morning, the young man
11:35is taken to Mrs. Sigsby's office, who intends to conduct a decisive test to find out if he is a
11:40telepath. After receiving him, the woman opens a newspaper page on her computer that reports the
11:45perishment of Luke's parents, saying that they decided to end it all. She then waits for the
11:49young man's reaction. Since only Sigsby can see the screen, if Luke shows any reaction, she will know
11:55that the young man has read her mind. At that moment, Luke stands up, and after seeing the photo of his
12:00parents in the newspaper, he attacks the director. Seconds later, the guards appear to capture him.
12:06When Sigsby is about to take revenge for the attack, Hendrix interrupts her to inform her of
12:11Tim's arrival, who is trying to get through the gates. While trying to extract information about
12:15what happens in that place, the night guard notices that there are several electric fences
12:20inside the gate, which indicates that they are trying to prevent possible escapes.
12:24Seeing Tim leaving, Sigsby orders Hendrix to investigate him to find out if someone sent him to
12:29spy on the institute. When the day comes for Nick to be sent to the back, the young man decides to
12:34come clean and says that everyone there knows about the origin of the smoke from the chimneys.
12:38While trying to escape, he lures the guards to an electronic lock and uses a stun gun to open it.
12:44After being captured, the teenager is dragged to the back room, and Luke tries to convince Maureen
12:49to help them escape before they end up being eliminated. Feeling guilty for having been complicit
12:53in everything they do in that place, the woman decides to help the newcomer escape and gives Luke
12:58a key so he can get to the laundry room. When she realizes that Maureen has been spending a lot of
13:03time talking to Luke, Sigsby decides to call her to her office to find out what they were talking
13:07about and orders the cleaning lady to stay away from the young man. That night, before going to
13:12the laundry room, Luke uses scissors to remove the chip from his ear and enlists Avery's help to
13:17bandage it. Thanks to Nick's help, Luke was able to access the room where the institute's security
13:22equipment is located and cut some cables so that the security cameras would not be able to detect
13:26movement. This way, he manages to reach the elevator without being noticed and walks to the laundry
13:31room to find Maureen. After covering the young man with towels, the woman pushes the cart to
13:36the recovery room and hands him a flash drive so he can show the world everything that happens
13:40inside. Before leaving, Luke sees Iris lying on one of the stretchers and tries to wake her
13:45up, but soon realizes that the girl is completely unconscious. After passing through the room where
13:51the bodies are destroyed, Luke finally reaches the back of the courtyard and runs to the gate.
13:56With the help of his scissors, the young man digs under the fence and runs toward the river.
14:00Upon entering the water, Luke ends up attracting the attention of one of the security guards,
14:05who leaves his post to check if there are any fugitives nearby. When he sees the flashlight
14:09approaching, the young man dives in and swims to the other side of the river. As she prepares to
14:14leave, Maureen discovers that she has been summoned to Trevor's office and realizes that she has been
14:19discovered. At that moment, the woman realizes that she will not be able to leave the institute
14:24alive and calls Kate for help. She then informs her that she helped Luke escape and asks the journalist
14:30him. At that very moment, Tim is walking around the institute, looking for a way in to begin his
14:35investigations. As dawn breaks, the night guard decides to leave so as not to be discovered and
14:40ends up finding Luke on the way. Realizing that Tim does not work for Sigsby, the young man decides to
14:46trust him and accompanies him to his car. Later, the director finds Maureen's body behind the door and
14:51discovers that she ended her life minutes after contacting Kate. At that moment, Sigsby discovers that the
14:57cleaning lady helped a teenager escape and checks all the rooms until she finds Luke's locator hidden
15:01under the pillow. By this point, Luke is already starting to worry about Maureen, as she had agreed
15:08to meet him after finishing her shift. So he convinces Tim to help him look for his friend in the forest,
15:13but they both end up being found by Kate. Realizing that Luke can read her mind, the journalist grabs
15:18her gun to get rid of Tim and take the young man back to the institute. However, before Kate can pull
15:23the trigger, the young man uses his powers to knock a tree branch down on her, and Tim pushes her onto
15:29the rocks. After hitting her head, the woman falls into the water and the former police officer
15:34discovers that Luke was not delusional when he talked about the things that happen at that institute.
15:38After Kate is eliminated, Tim takes the teenager to the police station and shows the flash drive to
15:43the sheriff. Upon seeing one of the officers, Norbert, who is a corrupt cop, he immediately realizes that he
15:49is the young man who escaped from the institute and informs Trevor of his location. While watching
15:54the recording on the flash drive, John and Tim discover what happens inside the institute and
15:58are shocked by the images. Ironically, after losing her life, Maureen was sent to the same oven
16:04where the bodies of the young test subjects sent to the recovery room are destroyed. After watching
16:09the video, the sheriff takes his car keys to take Luke and Tim to Portland, so Drew decides to get rid of
16:14him. After eliminating John, the police officer regrets what he had to do and orders Tim to
16:19handcuff the young man to the chair. After informing Trevor of what happened, Drew drags the sheriff's
16:24body into the next room and Luke uses his powers to bring a paperclip close to Tim. At that moment,
16:30the night guard manages to free them, and they both run to the convenience store. With Mr. Dobir's help,
16:36the pair hide in a basement, and when Sigsby shows up, the salesman manages to throw her off the trail.
16:41After leaving the store, Luke connects with Avery and discovers that he has been sent to the air
16:46deprivation room. When his oxygen is removed, the young man becomes furious and uses his powers to
16:51blow up the glass that keeps him trapped. With nowhere to go, Tim decides to ask Wendy for help,
16:57but since the flash drive is in the sheriff's pocket, they have no way to prove that Luke is
17:01telling the truth. Even so, when Drew knocks on her door, Wendy helps them both hide, but Sigsby
17:07manages to find them. Seeing Tim pointing a gun at him, Drew tries to convince Wendy that he has gone
17:12mad and waits for the first opportunity to capture his co-worker. After restraining Wendy, Drew shoots
17:17the night guard, but ends up being eliminated after being shot by Tim. At this point, Sigsby realizes
17:23she is surrounded and decides to tell the truth about the Institute's origins. According to her,
17:28the gift of these young people is used to predict chain reactions that will bring about the end of the
17:32world. Like Luke, there are a few other young people capable of predicting the future, and when
17:38something or someone threatens the safety of humanity, they are immediately eliminated.
17:42After telling this story, Sigsby recalls that Tim eliminated one person in Boston to save several
17:47others, and states that if he decides to take Luke away, he will put the future of all humanity at risk.
17:53While Tim handcuffs the director of the Institute with the aim of handing her over to the FBI,
17:58Luke establishes a new connection with Avery.
18:00After blowing up the air deprivation room, the young man is sent to the back, and upon arriving
18:06there, he decides to use his powers to save all the young people, including those who are already
18:11completely erased in the recovery room. In an attempt to prevent a possible conspiracy,
18:15Hendricks orders Tony to erase Avery, but the young man uses his powers to make him swallow his
18:21stun gun. After Tony is eliminated, the doctor realizes that all the employees are in danger,
18:26and Trevor sounds the security alarm. Upon entering the recovery room, Nick finds an employee with her
18:31body completely destroyed on one of the stretchers, so he guides Iris and the others out of there.
18:37However, Trevor manages to cut off the power from the back to prevent the young people from opening
18:41the electronic locks. When he realizes that his friends are trapped, Luke asks Tim for help in
18:47talking to the head of security and discovers that he plans to set fire to the tunnel where all his
18:51friends are. Knowing that he is the only one in his group capable of predicting the future, Luke decides
18:56to make a deal with Trevor and claims he is returning to the institute. Upon arriving at the
19:01location, Tim is greeted by Trevor, who immediately orders his team to get in the car to capture Luke.
19:06However, in doing so, they discover that they have been deceived, as Wendy was impersonating the
19:11young man, while Luke breaks into the facility to rescue his friends. Upon entering the back,
19:16Luke uses one of the employees' keys to open the doors, but when he reaches the tunnels,
19:21he realizes that the place is completely closed off. After connecting with Avery, Luke contacts the
19:27young people who are imprisoned in all the other institutes scattered across the planet and combines
19:31his powers with theirs. This gives the young man enough strength to open the door, and when he
19:36finds his friends, he asks Avery for help to clear the way. However, after opening the door, Avery decides
19:42to stay with the other young people to destroy that place and advises his friends to hurry. After escaping
19:48the tunnels, Luke, Nick, and Kalisha run to the front part to find George, and then run to the courtyard.
19:54The goal now is to get out of that facility before the entire building collapses. When he realizes what is
19:59about to happen, Trevor also tries to escape, but ends up suffering a terrible fall. After helping his friends
20:05get to safety, Luke connects with Avery one last time and helps him take down the institute, which for decades
20:11has destroyed the lives of thousands of gifted young people. While watching the institute go down,
20:16Tim steals a gun from one of the guards and manages to free himself. He then runs to meet Luke and takes
20:21the young people to safety. Even after everything that has happened, Sigsby manages to escape with
20:26her life and takes with her a flash drive containing all the information that the institute's leaders have
20:31tried to hide all these years. So what did you think of this movie? Leave it in the comments below.
