I Am Number Four
Directed by D.J. Caruso and produced by Michael Bay, I Am Number Four (2011) is a sci-fi action thriller based on the novel by Pittacus Lore. The story follows John Smith (Alex Pettyfer), an extraordinary teen who is actually a fugitive from the planet Lorien. Hunted by ruthless enemies known as Mogadorians, John moves from town to town with his guardian, Henri (Timothy Olyphant). In the small town of Paradise, Ohio, John discovers his supernatural "Legacies," falls for a girl named Sarah (Dianna Agron), and prepares for a final stand alongside Number Six (Teresa Palmer).
The film is noted for its high-octane action sequences and its blend of small-town Americana with high-concept science fiction.
