00:00Hi, Movie Recap Zone here, today, I'm gonna explain an American superhero and fantasy movie,

00:06called Sky High. Spoilers ahead. Watch out and take care.

00:11The movie starts by showing a teenage boy, named Will Stronghold. His parents are the

00:16commander in Jetstream, two of the world's most famous superheroes. Surprisingly, all this time

00:21he has not developed any superpowers like his parents, which is unbeknownst to them.

00:25Shortly after, his best friend, Layla Williams, comes to his house. She has been secretly in

00:31love with him for a long time. They decide to go to their school together, called Sky High.

00:36It is a high school that exclusively teaches teenagers with superpowers. Later, they are

00:41picked up by the school bus. On their way, they meet with other students. There are Magenta, Ethan,

00:47and Zach. Meanwhile, the bus driver tells them to get ready because the bus they are riding will

00:52turn into a flying bus to get to Sky High, which is located on a floating campus in the sky.

00:57Arriving there, they are harassed by a group of bullies, Speed, a senior with super speed,

01:03Lash, a senior that can stretch his body, and Penny, another senior who can duplicate herself.

01:08Luckily, they are assisted by Gwen Grayson, a mentor during their student orientation.

01:13It looks like Will is very mesmerized by her charm. After that, they are led into a room to do their

01:19initial study called Power Placement. It is a session to measure their potential superpowers

01:24and determine whether they will be a hero or a sidekick. They have to show their superpower in

01:29front of the class, which is guided by Coach Boomer. Will's classmates Ethan, who melts into a fluid,

01:34Zach, who glows in the dark, Magenta, who transforms into a guinea pig, and Layla, who joins the class to

01:40protest the two-track nature of the school's education system. All of them are assigned a sidekick.

01:45During break time, there is someone who keeps staring at Will. Zach informs them that his

01:50name is Warren Peace, whose supervillain father was imprisoned by Will's father aka the commander.

01:56Then it is Will's turn to show his superpowers. Because he lacks superpowers, Coach Boomer assigns

02:01him to sidekick. Soon, he learns from nurse specs that not everybody gains powers. There are rare cases

02:07of those who have both parents with superpowers but do not inherit any superpowers, such as Ron Wilson,

02:12the bus driver. When he gets home, Will wants to tell his father that he was assigned a sidekick,

02:18but his father interrupts his conversation. Then his father shows him his hidden trophy room,

02:22which he calls Secret Sancton. There is a history of his father's heroism, such as various collections

02:28of enemy weapons. Furthermore, his father is particularly proud of the mysterious weapon

02:33named the pacifier, which he took from his science-themed nemesis, called Royal Pain years ago.

02:38Because Will knows that his father has high hopes for him, he delays telling him the problems earlier.

02:43Unbeknownst to the two, Royal Pain who has been presumed dead, watches them from a hidden camera

02:47and one of the other trophies, alongside a maniacal sidekick named Stitches. As Will be friends with

02:53the other sidekicks, they introduce themselves to his father and his house. However, he seems a little

02:58dissatisfied as he finds out the superpowers of each one of them. As a result, Will ventures to tell

03:03everything to his father. Hearing Will's confession, his father immediately feels disappointed in him.

03:08However, he tries to explain that he still feels proud to be a sidekick. The next day,

03:14Will is being bullied again by Lash and Speed. When he is carrying his food, Lash makes him fall,

03:19causing his food to spill on Warren. Because of this, Warren becomes very annoyed and immediately

03:25attacks him. During the fight between the two, Will only can dodge the attacks, so Warren chooses to

03:30attack his friend. Fortunately, Will eventually manifests superpowers, sending Warren flying and he

03:36immediately sprays him with a fire extinguisher. Consequently, they are called to the counseling

03:41guidance room. That night, Will is scolded by his mother, but then his father is so proud because

03:46he finally manifests his superpowers. Back to sky high, he is subsequently transferred to the hero

03:51track. However, he feels sad because he has to leave his sidekick friends. In his new class, he is

03:57paired with Gwen. She is a technopath who controls machines with her mind. It looks like she also has

04:03feelings for Will as she helps him to do his work and offers herself to be his private tutor.

04:08Soon, he inevitably becomes popular at the school and unable to hang out with his sidekick friends.

04:13One night, Will and his family have a guest who turns out to be Gwen. At first, she intends to

04:18help Will in doing his homework. Eventually, she has dinner with Will's family, asking Will's parents

04:24to attend the homecoming dance to accept an award for Superhero of the Year, which they accept.

04:29While walking back to Gwen's house, Gwen asks Will out to the homecoming party. Sure enough,

04:34he happily accepts the invitation, then becomes her boyfriend. At the same time,

04:39Layla meets Warren in a cafe, which turns out that he also works there. She then reveals to Warren that

04:44she has loved Will for a long time and she wants to invite him to the homecoming party later, but she

04:49is insecure because she thinks that Will is already in love with another girl. The following day, Will begins

04:54spending more time with Gwen and her group, thus ignoring the sidekicks. On the other hand,

04:59Layla seems to keep approaching Warren to make Will jealous of her. On the night before the dance,

05:04Gwen tricks Will into throwing a party at his house. He then plans to invite his other friends to the

05:09party, but Gwen forbids him because the party is dedicated for hero only. She instead asks if there is

05:15a more private room for the two of them. Finally, he takes her into the secret sanctum. When the two are

05:20kissing, it is seen that Speed uses the opportunity to steal the pacifier without being caught. In the

05:26meantime, Layla comes to Will's house intending to meet him. Unfortunately, Gwen lies to her,

05:31saying that Will has no feelings for her. Knowing this, she immediately leaves the place and will not

05:36interfere with Will's life anymore. Will then finds out that Gwen has lied to Layla. Therefore,

05:41he breaks up with her, refusing to attend the dance, even though his parents were invited as honored

05:46guests. After a while, Will's parents suddenly appear and force everyone in the house to leave

05:51the place. Will also tells his parents that he does not want to attend the dance party. He also calls

05:56Layla to meet him at the cafe so he can apologize for what just happened. There, he instead meets

06:01Warren, who reveals that Layla approached him just to make Will jealous. Later, Will looks through his

06:07father's old yearbook and sees a student who resembles Gwen holding the pacifier, which he subsequently

06:12discovers has gone missing. Reasoning that the student, Sue Tenney was Royal Payne and that Gwen

06:17is her daughter, he instantly calls Ron to take him to the dance party. At the dance party, Gwen reveals

06:22that she is actually Royal Payne herself. During her confrontation with the commander, she uses the

06:27pacifier, which turns its target into a baby. She also says that she has waited many years to exact

06:33her revenge. In the end, Royal Payne takes over the school, assisted by Stitches, Speed, Lash,

06:39and Penny. She uses the pacifier to turn Will's parents, the faculty, and the students into babies,

06:45kidnapping them. She also plans to start a supervillain academy and raise the children as

06:50supervillains as revenge for being written off as a sidekick in her youth. But luckily, Warren, Layla,

06:56Zach, Ethan, and Magenta manage to escape through the air duct. A few moments later, Will arrives at the

07:02school with Ron and manages to meet with his friends. He then apologizes to Layla and teams up with the

07:08others to save the day. Not long after, Lash, Speed, and Penny find the sidekick. Warren tells Will to

07:15face Royal Payne, while he and the others will face the three of them. Long story short, Warren and

07:20Ethan are able to defeat Lash and Speed. On the other hand, Layla, who is angered by Penny,

07:26inevitably brings out her strength. It is revealed that she has the power to manipulate plant life,

07:31defeating Penny in the process. The sidekicks demonstrate their heroism after Royal Payne sabotages

07:37the school's anti-gravity drive and their powers come in handy to restart it. Apparently, Will discovers

07:42that he is Jetstream's powers of flight when he is thrown off the edge of the school grounds by Royal Payne.

07:47Using his new superpower, he tries his best to prevent the campus from falling.

07:53At the end, Royal Payne and her henchpeople are defeated and imprisoned in the detention halls.

07:58Besides that, Will's parents, the faculty, and the students are returned to their proper ages.

08:03Will's parents also thank all of the sidekicks and admit that they are the true heroes.

08:08The movie ends happily as Will and Layla finally kiss by hovering outside the school.

08:12Last, of all, Will explains via a voiceover that Ron Wilson later gains his superhuman powers after

08:18falling into a vat of toxic waste, thus becoming a superhero. Additionally, he and Layla have become

08:23a couple, he and Warren became best friends, and he and Gwen who along with the other bullies went to

08:28prison become archenemies. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Hit that like button if you did,
