Joe and his father, the deputy sheriff, live in the small town of Lillian, Ohio; the year is 1979 and like most kids their age, Joe and his friends have always been obsessed with the silver screen. When his friend Charlie asks him to help out on a film he's making with his friends, he willingly accepts. Joe's father wishes his son would take his head out of the clouds and focus on something more productive.
Ignoring his father's wishes Joe and the budding film makers head out to shoot the next scene in their movie but what they're witness to is set to change their small town forever. As the kids begin to shoot, Joe notices a truck that's heading straight for a collision course with an oncoming government train heading for a secret base. As the train derails the kids escape in the nick of time but as various disappearances start to happen it seems their Super 8 film might just hold a secret they were never meant to view.
Super 8 was written and directed by J. J. Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg.
