(Inspired by Alexandra Bracken's "The Darkest Minds") It's been a few months since the government has begun placing the kids who survived IAAN, a disease that killed 98% of America's child population, into rehabilitation camps around the country. Sorted into five color classifications- green (enhanced intelligence), blue (telekinesis), yellow (electrokinesis), red (pyrokinesis), and orange (mind control) - the children are locked in, their past lives stripped away from them and replaced by blank walls and harsh routine. Luke, a blue, teams up with his room to put their breakout plan in place after weeks of planning, even despite the potentially deadly consequences. The government has underestimated them, and they're about to show the world what a mistake that was.
Directed by Jordan-Paige Sudduth, One Shot leans on a strong ensemble — Aria Brooks, Charlotte Bythewood, Kyle Cattonar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2018.
