I Am Number Four 🎥 2011 Movie Info

Plot Summary

The first book of the “Lorian Legacies Series”, “I am Number Four” centers on the conflict between two extraterrestrial species: the Loric and the Mogadorians. The Loric are classified into two factions: the overseers known as the Cepân and the guardians known as the Garde, the latter of whom possess unique abilities known as Legacies. The story begins with a prelude that follows Hannu – the alias used by Number Three, one of nine Garde children who fled to Earth after their homeworld of Lorien was invaded.

While residing in Kenya, he is discovered and killed by Mogadorian assassins under the command of General Andrakkus Sutekh. Most of the book is told in the first person by Number Four, who begins as Daniel Jones. As the story opens, he and his guardian or Cepân, Henri, learn of the death of Number Three and move to Paradise, Ohio, assuming a new identity as John Smith. There, John befriends conspiracy theorist Sam Goode and “adopts” a dog identified by its name tag as “Bernie Kosar”. He also meets and develops feelings for a fellow student, Sarah Hart, who is working as a photographer. Sarah’s ex-boyfriend, football player Mark James, bullies and torments both John and Sam. During a Halloween parade, Henri and Sam have a competition about naming Sci-fi theories.

Sam mentions that he knows about Mogadorians from a magazine, They Walk Among Us, a revelation that alarms both John and Henri. Later, Mark and his friends organize a nasty surprise during the haunted hayride: Sarah, John, and Sam are left stranded in the woods where Mark plans to beat up John. John uses his “legacies”, which are akin to superpowers, to fend off his attackers and rescue Sarah. Sarah does not see John use his legacies in the darkness, so John emphatically warns Mark not to talk about what happened, or he will punish Mark severely if Mark or any of his friends talk.
