What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister?

Overview
"Brightburn", produced in 2019, is an American superhero scary motion picture produced by James Gunn and directed by David Yarovesky. The film embodies a fictional tale that reimagines the distinguished story of Superman in an audacious and gruesome twist - turning a potential hero into an antagonist. The film mostly received appreciation for its initial story and its genre-blending flair, assembling components of scary with the conventions of superhero movies.

Plot
"Brightburn" begins apparently acquainted with an extraterrestrial infant crash-landing on Earth, specifically in the town of Brightburn, Kansas. This stranded child young boy is then discovered by struggling farmers Tori and Kyle Breyer (played by Elizabeth Banks and David Denman), who decide to embrace the kid as their own, calling him Brandon.

The narrative takes a dark turn when Brandon (played by Jackson A. Dunn) turns twelve and starts to manifest superhuman powers. Unlike the virtuous Superman, Brandon's powers are not related to an ethical compass or a sense of justice. Rather, they usher him into a spiral of hostile and violent actions. Beneath the façade of a normal young boy, a malevolent entity starts to emerge. He ends up being indifferent and detached from the social world around him, establishing a sadistic and unsympathetic streak.

Conflict
When Brandon hits puberty his powers become uncontrollable, and he ends up being extremely violent, ruthless, and unfortunately damaging. After a series of disconcerting events, his moms and dads gradually acknowledge this change, becoming exceptionally disoriented and frightened. A series of gruesome actions unfold as Brandon uses his strength and abilities savagely, causing terror in Brightburn's town population.

Resolution
The film reaches a terrifying climax when Tori and Kyle are forced to face their kid's monstrous nature. In spite of their initial denial and attempts to discipline Brandon, they eventually understand the scary reality about their boy. In the final face-off, the concerned moms and dads take desperate procedures to stop their supernaturally effective kid, but Brandon's strength and invincibility make it an impossible difficulty. Brandon's malevolent habits and resistance to any form of control lead to a terrible ending for individuals of Brightburn.
