We Can Be Heroes

Story

America is protected by a team of superheroes known as the Heroics. Marcus Moreno (Pedro Pascal) is the leader of the Heroics, who are managed by a government organisation headed up by Ms Granada (Priyanka Chopra).

When aliens invade and capture the superheroes, their children realise it’s up to them to save the day. After escaping from the Heroics headquarters, the children sneak onto the alien mothership to outsmart the aliens.

The children discover that the government organisation managing the Heroics, along with the American President, are actually aliens in disguise. A final battle ensues, in which the children are victorious because of their teamwork and friendship, as well as the guidance of their accidental leader, Missy Moreno (YaYa Gosselin).

After saving their parents from the aliens, the aliens reveal it was all a test to prepare the children to take over as the new superheroes when their parents retire.

Teamwork; friendship; separation from parents; aliens; superpowers

We Can Be Heroes has some violence. For example:

• There are many hand-to-hand combat sequences. These feature fist-fighting, kicking and throwing, which is all exaggerated and fantastical.
• Both adults and children use superpowers, like super strength and lightning, to fight the aliens.
