Premise

[edit]

The Lightning Code movie tells the story of a teen inventor, Miles Fletcher, who has spent his life trying to complete his mother's work—unlocking Nikola Tesla's lost secret to limitless energy. When he finally cracks the code, his discovery catches the attention of Luxos Energy, a powerful corporation that presents itself as a champion of innovation. At the center of their offer is Kennedy Blake, a sharp and ambitious executive who seems to share his vision. Convinced Luxos can bring his invention to life, Miles strikes a deal. But just as Miles perfects his invention, Luxos turns on him—stealing his work, shutting him out, and revealing their true intentions. With nothing left and no options, he must make a choice—give up or trust his friends and fight back. With the help of his fearless friend Piper, her kid brother Jamie, and his loyal robot sidekick, Newt, Miles embarks on a thrilling race against time. As he pieces together clues from his mother's past, he realizes his invention isn't just a breakthrough — it holds the power to change everything. In an electrifying battle of ingenuity versus industry, Miles must outthink a corporation more dangerous than it seems. But who can he trust, and how far will he go to protect the future? A high-stakes, action-packed sci-fi adventure, The Lightning Code blends thrills, heart, and adventure in a family-friendly film about innovation, unity, and standing up for what's right.[3]
