In the summer of 1979 in the town of Lillian, Ohio, four schoolboys and a girl several of them have a crush on film a zombie movie to try to win a prize near a train station. While filming, a pickup truck on the tracks derails an oncoming train and causes a massive explosion and mayhem. The children stumble across a government and military secret that could get them killed for knowing too much. Before long a contingent of military personnel with berets and rifles take over the town and round up the inhabitants. Perhaps an homage to movies from the eighties like "E.T" made by the producer of this film Steven Spielberg. There is a lot of explosions, unexplained creatures, and mysterious happenings to satisfy the urge to escape from the real world for a couple hours in an air conditioned theater on a hot summer day. I expect that this will do well.
