Skyrunners 2009

Nick Burns [Kelly Blatz] and his younger brother Tyler Burns [Joey Pollari] stumble upon a small UFO that lands right in front of their truck on a quiet, empty road near their town. After a tense escape from government agents led by Agent Armstrong [Conrad Coates], the siblings manage to keep the craft hidden and Tyler begins to show startling changes: enhanced strength and telepathy, clear signs of his space journey. While Nick juggles the pressure of a looming high school graduation science project, he also finds himself chasing Julie Gunn [Jacqueline MacInnes Wood], whose presence adds a complicated layer to his ordinary life. Meanwhile,怪 reptile-like aliens begin to appear and start pursuing Tyler, heightening the sense that the brothers are caught between two worlds: ordinary adolescence and an unfolding extraterrestrial threat.

As the situation spirals, Tyler’s condition becomes impossible to ignore, and the tension peaks when Agent Armstrong scripts a shocking reveal: the agent is not just pursuing the UFO, but is himself an alien in disguise. He shoots the ship with a laser, crippling the craft and capturing Tyler in a moment of betrayal. The shock pushes Nick to the edge, but guilt over doubting his brother drives him to seek out the UFO’s hidden lair. He finds a door that opens into a series of underground caves—the alien fortress built within an impact crater—and begins a dangerous mission to rescue Tyler.

Inside the alien fortress, Nick and Tyler uncover the chilling plan: the aliens intend to take over Earth by polluting the atmosphere. Tyler, armed with an alien explosive taken from the ship, ultimately disrupts the pollution operation, triggering a desperate escape. The brothers flee in the damaged UFO, but the chase is not over. A surviving alien, possibly Armstrong, pursues them in a more powerful version of their craft, turning their escape into a high-stakes aerial showdown.

The climactic flight ends in a spectacular crash right at Nick’s high school graduation scene. Miraculously, Nick manages to repair the UFO and uses this achievement as the core of his science project, earning him the chance to graduate. The personal wins also roll in: Nick’s relationship with Julie Gunn reaches a new level as a kiss seals their budding romance, and Tyler hints at a future connection with Katie Wallace [Aisha Dee]. The brothers choose to keep the UFO for now, a symbol of their unexpected bond and the extraordinary events they’ve survived.

Yet the ending lingers with a reminder that danger remains. Four figures resembling Armstrong are seen watching from a distance, implying that some aliens survived and are plotting another attack on Earth. The film closes with a sense of unfinished business and a hint that the adventure may continue, as the brothers carry the mysterious vessel into an uncertain future.
