SYNOPSIS:

Remember when you were a kid how you always wanted to save the day? You, your friends, on the playground, against impossible odds - would always find a way to save the day. Kid Combat brings you back to that time… Set in a small town that is overrun by a slithering snake of a man named Phillip Arthur Jones, Kid Combat is a modern world action/drama. The story starts with Samantha sneaking into Jones’s Mansion to find out vital intel her group can use. But, as she was set to get in, she sets off an alarm. Racing through an underground tunnel, Samantha is pursued by a handful of guards. As she radios for help, Gears answers. He guides Samantha through the danger and tells her to release the smoke grenades. The guards, dazed and confused by the smoke, lose ground - all but one. As Samantha reaches the ladder to escape, he reaches up and snatches at her. He manages to grab her backpack, but, alas the straps break sending him tumbling down… As Samantha reaches Gears, he nails the escape hatch closed and the two escape. Or so they thought. Barreling down on them are more guards on four wheelers. Jumping onto Gears moped, the two try to scurry off, but are definitely out powered. Arriving fashionably late – as always – are the other members of the young crusaders – the set of twins – Rocket and Wedge. The telecommunications and reconnaissance experts. They are the comic relief as the bumble through every mission. Always getting it done, but never as it is expected. Rocket and Wedge dispatch of a few guards with tee shirt launchers modified to throw huge amounts of paint, the remaining guard barrels down on Sam and Gears. Gears, directs Samantha towards the forest, where he has rigged up a remote fireworks display – for a party of one. That’s our introduction to the kids. But, something is missing from Samantha’s team. Something to set them over the edge and really strike back against Jones. Enter Kid Combat. When Kyle Christensen’s father takes a job to work for Jones, he moves his family to our small town of Elmcrest. When Phillip Arthur Jones forces Kyle’s father into a compromising position, it is then that Kid Combat is born and where our story takes really takes place. Kyle, with the help of Samantha and her group of young crusaders, must save Kyle's father from Jones… www.kidcombatfilm.com copyright 2015
