Newcomer, Alex Pettyfer, stars as Alex Rider in one of the most anticipated movies of the year. MI6 Spy, Ian Rider (Ewan McGregor) was Alex's guardian since we was small, and now he has been killed by Russian assassin, Yassen Gregorovich (Damien Lewis). Alex is then tricked into working for MI6, and goes undercover to see what suspected crook Darius Sayle (Mickey Rourke) is up to when he releases new super computers known as Stormbreakers. While undercover, Alex encounters tasks no one would deem possible for a mere 14 year old boy. Alex destroys Sayle's plans to kill billions of children across Great Britain, and seemingly becomes a normal schoolboy again. But for how long?
