Plot
Tuck,
Munch and Alex are a trio of inseparable friends whose lives are about to
change. Their Las Vegas suburb,
Mulberry Woods, is being destroyed by a highway construction project that is
forcing their families to move away. They mourn what will surely be the end of
their happiness and friendship as their families move to separate ends of the
country.
During
the last week together, Alex's phone, as well as his family's, begin
"barfing"—displaying weird electronic signals. Munch and Tuck figure
out these signals only start at a certain point in the neighborhood. At one
point men from the construction crew come to give out new phones, apologizing
for the apparent electrical short that caused this, but the boys hide their
phones.
Munch
discovers that the image on his phone is identical to a desert 20 miles away.
While at school they plan to tell their parents they are sleeping out at one of
the other boys' houses and then ride their bikes to find what the image leads
to.
That
night, Tuck and Alex collect an extremely nervous Munch who has cold feet.
After some convincing they get him to come, telling him it's their last night
together before Alex—who's moving in with another foster family—and eventually
all three, move away. They bike out to the desert and what they discover is
something beyond their wildest imaginations: a small friendly alien robot who
has become stranded on Earth. In need of their help to rebuild his spaceship,
the three friends come together to protect the alien, which they name Echo.
Trying to find missing parts, they travel all over the desert and into a pawn shop;
a house that happens to be Emma's (or, as Munch calls her, "Mannequin
Girl"), who joins them to get away from her parents; a bar; and an arcade.
However,
they are being chased by government officials who have gone undercover as
construction workers to investigate a spaceship that entered Earth's atmosphere
near the construction site. They shot Echo down and, believing that if Echo
rebuilds his ship it will kill everyone on Earth, plan to kill him. After
collecting a few of the pieces, the kids and Echo are caught, and the
government is almost able to kill Echo before they escape. They steal the
government's van and follow the last map on their phones to reach Echo's
spaceship.
The
map leads them to Alex's backyard; the spaceship was under the neighborhood all
along. Tuck, Munch and Emma now believe the officials and try to convince Alex
to believe them, too, but he doesn't listen. Alex puts Echo in the spaceship
and tearfully says goodbye. The spaceship rebuilds itself, pulling each piece
out of the ground, and blasts off into the sky. Only the four kids are around
to see it (except Munch's mother, whom no one believes) and think the holes
appear because of a brief earthquake caused by the ship taking off.
Having
been wrong about their predictions regarding the spaceship, the government
officials depart. The kids' parents discover that they were out all night,
getting them in trouble. While they saved their neighborhood, Alex and Munch
still have to move away; Tuck is able to stay but regrets that it isn't the
same without his friends. Despite this, the group realizes that true best
friends remain so despite whatever distance separates them, and they remain
friends for life.
The
movie ends with the four friends meeting again on a camping trip and getting a
signal from Echo's home planet.
