super 8 trailer official

At the base, the boys learn from a repentant Dainard that Alice is missing, abducted by the creature the night before, after Dainard discovered her being seen with Joe. Joe, Charles, Martin, and Cary slip back into town, intent on rescuing Alice. They first break into Dr. Woodward's storage trailer at school and discover films and documents from his time as a government researcher. One 1958 film shows Woodward and other scientists experimenting on an alien creature and its spaceship, the latter composed of thousands of the white cubes. It is revealed that the alien crash-landed on Earth a few years earlier, and that the Air Force has been thwarting its attempts to repair its spaceship so that they can hold it captive and experiment on it. At one point in the film, the alien grabs Woodward, establishing a psychic connection with him, as explained in an audio recording by Woodward. Imbued with an understanding of the alien, he is motivated to cause the derailment and aid in the alien's escape from Earth. The boys are caught by Nelec and his men, but as they are taken back to the base by bus, the alien attacks the vehicle. Nelec and his men are killed while the boys escape. Meanwhile, Jack has escaped from the base's prison and made his way to the townsfolk and learns from Preston about Joe's hope to rescue Alice. Jack tells Dainard and they agreed to put aside their differences to save their kids.      watch more

While Joe and Charles wait on the development of the film of the derailment, the town experiences strange events: Joe's dog Lucy and others run away, several people are missing, and numerous electronics components from homes and department stores are stolen. Overhearing questionable Air Force and Army communication, Jack approaches Nelec to help quell the rising panic in town, but Nelec instead orders him secured in the base's prison. Nelec soon orders his forces to use flamethrowers to start wildfires on the outskirts of town, as a guise to evacuate the townspeople to the base. Suddenly, soldiers from the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division sweep into town on M113 Armored Personnel Carriers, M35 Trucks, and M151 Jeeps to begin the evacuation. Meanwhile, Joe and Charles watch the footage they filmed at the derailment at his home and confirm that a large creature had fled from the damaged train.

In 1979, Deputy Jack Lamb (Kyle Chandler) of Lillian, Ohio, and his 14-year-old son Joe (Joel Courtney), mourn the death of his wife in a factory accident. Jack blames his wife's co-worker, Louis Dainard (Ron Eldard), for her death, as she was covering his shift while he was recovering from intoxication the night before. Four months later, Joe's best friend and cameraman Charles Kaznyk (Riley Griffiths) decides to produce and make a low-budget zombie movie to enter into an international film competition. Charles enlists the help of their close friends Preston (Zach Mills), Martin (Gabriel Basso), and Cary (Ryan Lee), as well as Dainard's daughter, Alice (Elle Fanning). Joe and Alice, though aware their respective fathers would be furious, become smitten with each other.
Charles decides to film a scene at the local train depot using a passing train to add authenticity to his film. While shooting, Joe witnesses a pickup truck drive onto the tracks and ram the train head-on, causing a massive train derailment as the friends barely escape the resulting chaos and explosions. The children investigate the wreck and find a pile of strange white cubes, then discover the truck's driver is Dr. Woodward (Glynn Turman), their biology teacher. Woodward, barely alive, warns the children at gunpoint to never talk about what they saw that night, or else they and their parents will be killed. The children flee the scene just as an armed force from the local U.S Air Force base, led by Colonel Nelec (Noah Emmerich), arrive to secure the scene. Nelec discovers an empty box of Super 8 mm film, and assumes the event was captured on camera.        watch more
