Plots(1)
It's inner city versus outer space when aliens drop in on a London housing project and the only line of defence against the extraterrestrial invaders is a group of teenage hoodlums. The sci-fi comedy Attack the Block begins as trainee nurse Sam is walking home and is robbed by a gang of hooded youths. She's saved when the gang are distracted by a bright meteorite, which falls from the sky and hits a nearby parked car. A small alien creature leaps from the wreckage and the gang chase and kill it, dragging its ghoulish carcass to the top of the block - but bigger, more savage beasts are on the way and the estate is about to become a battleground.
