J.J. Abrams serves as writer and director in this adventure that takes place in the summer of 1979 in a small Ohio town where a group of friends witness a catastrophic train crash while making a Super 8 movie. They soon suspect it was not an accident when unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in the town. The local Deputy (Kyle Chandler) tries to uncover the truth—something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined. The group of young friends led by Joe (Joel Courtney) and Alice (Elle Fanning) discover that the crash was captured on the Super 8 camera and begin a quest to protect their community and each other from the danger lurking in their previously sleepy town. The film’s ensemble cast includes Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Gabriel Basso, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard, Riley Griffiths, Ryan Lee and Zach Mills and is produced by Steven Spielberg, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk.
