Set for release in 2019, the family film follows the intergalactic exploits of St’aar (Butterfield), an alien teenager who runs away from his galaxy on a small starship, and ends up stranded on Earth.

But the friends are pursued around the planet by ruthless tech billionaire Peter Fox (Bean), and his tenacious Security Chief (Arterton), bent on capturing and exploiting the alien at all costs. Leading the escapade is Spinner (Claflin), his brilliant girlfriend, Izzy (Haddock), and Thor (Fynn), the self-styled tech Cyber Viking, assisting in St’aar’s journey home.
