Earth to Echo

EARTH TO ECHO is a story that begins with three best friends that  spend their last day in the suburban Nevada development, which is to be destroyed to make room for a new freeway. When camera-loving Tuck (Brian “Astro” Bradley) and his two closest pals, foster kid Alex (Teo Halm) and nerdy introvert Munch (Reese Hartwig), notice that everyone in the neighborhood’s cell phones all begin to receive some weird signs, they decide to investigate, not knowing what awaits them when they find the same shape in a nearby desert that was showing up on their phones. In the middle of nowhere, the kids find nothing but a dusty metal capsule — but still decide to take with them. They later find out that the capsule is in fact an alien that’s able to communicate with their phones. The boys decide to name the alien “Echo” because he imitates their sounds with little beeps, and together they embark on an all-night adventure to help Echo find his spaceship.
