Disturbia 🎥 2007 Movie Info

Plot Summary

After his father’s death in a car accident a year ago, 17-year-old Kale Brecht becomes a troubled outcast. During Spanish class, Señor Gutierrez reprimands Kale for poor performance and mentions his recently deceased father, inciting Kale to attack him. A sympathetic judge sentences Kale to three months’ house arrest and orders him to wear an ankle monitor and a proximity sensor. At the Brecht house, Detective Parker explains how the ankle monitor functions. The overseeing police officer is Señor Gutierrez’s cousin. Kale spends his confinement watching television and playing video games while neglecting household chores.

His frustrated mother, Julie, cancels his Xbox Live and iTunes subscription and cuts his TV cord. Bored, Kale observes his neighborhood with binoculars. His neighbors include the solitary Robert Turner and Ashley Carlson, an attractive teenaged girl whose family just moved in next door. When Kale accidentally trips his proximity sensor while chasing pranking neighborhood boys, the police quickly arrive and Officer Gutierrez roughly handcuffs Kale. After receiving a warning, Kale sets up a marked perimeter zone and is careful to stay inside. Late one night, Kale grows suspicious when Turner returns home in his classic Ford Mustang with a dented fender.

The vehicle matches the description of a car mentioned in a TV news report about a serial killer at large. Kale befriends Ashley, and they and Kale’s best friend, Ronnie, begin spying on Turner. When Turner has a female guest, they see her frantically running from him inside the house; however, she appears to drive away later. Kale becomes jealous when he sees Ashley flirting with popular classmates at her pool party. When he blasts disruptive non-party-related music at them, Ashley arrives and angrily confronts him. He reveals his romantic attraction for her, and they kiss. The following day, Kale asks Ashley to follow Turner to the supermarket while Ronnie obtains the code to Turner’s garage door controller.
