Film synopsis
The story follows the Hamilton family, led by scientist father Dre and guardian mother Maya, as their five children – gifted chef Tasha, bookish Sienna, average teen Ty, and prodigies Jordan and Keira – discover they have inherited special abilities from their ancestral lineage. The children learn from their parents about their destiny as the last descendants of ancient magical guardians tasked with maintaining balance in the world.
When a mysterious threat in the form of a giant robot called Neocron attacks, seeking magical bracelets worn by the children, they awaken their powers of super strength, telekinesis, speed, and technology manipulation to defeat it.
In the end, the family bonds against the looming threat, determined to stay together and face their fate.
