Spy School

A twelve-year-old Forrest Landis as Thomas Miller starts the story as a school troublemaker who tends to pick fights, cause distractions in class, and spin tall tales. His restless energy lands him in detention with Principal Roger Bart as Hampton, where a routine punishment awaits him for goofing off. But the moment the classroom quiets, Thomas isn’t done testing boundaries—when Mrs. Bleckner, played by Suzy Nakamura, steps out to tend to her nails and hair, he quietly slips away and moves toward the library to read and chat with other students instead. On his way, a chilling moment catches his ear: an unseen figure on a cellphone discusses a plan to kidnap the president’s daughter. The thought petrifies him, and he quickly retreats, unsure who the threat might be but certain that danger is looming.

In the scramble of fear and curiosity, Thomas encounters an FBI agent who introduces himself as Rider Strong as Randal. Randal claims to be investigating the case and working to halt the plot, and the two allies soon find another FBI agent, Albert, as they piece together what Thomas overheard. They come to a shared realization: the kidnapper plans to strike during the school’s upcoming dance weekend. To help unravel the mystery, Thomas invites his best friend, AnnaSophia Robb as Jackie, to join the pursuit. The pair, however, are abruptly kicked out by the vigilant Principal Hampton and Mrs. Bleckner, who worry they’ll cause trouble at the event.

Despite the hurdles, the team presses on. Albert joins Thomas and Jackie, and the trio continues to search the dance floor for clues, feeling a pervasive sense that someone is watching and that danger could erupt at any moment. Meanwhile, Randal, working separately, makes a startling discovery and confronts the unseen kidnapper. The kidnapper fights back, using a broom to attack Randal and dragging him away, locking him in a tense stand-off that heightens the sense of peril surrounding the planned assault.

With Randal missing and the clock ticking, the clues begin to align for the detectives, aided by Mrs. Bleckner’s own vigilance. She moves through the hallways as a hall monitor, and when she hears banging from a janitor’s closet, she investigates. She opens the door and finds Randal bound and gagged inside. Quick-thinking and bravery push them to spring into action, and they sprint toward the dance floor to confront the janitor, the man they’ve now identified as the kidnapper. The chase intensifies as Albert, Thomas, and Jackie pursue the suspect, following him onto a helicopter where the stakes finally rise to a fever pitch.

Thomas makes a bold move, leaping onto the helicopter, creeping up on the villain, and delivering a decisive blow that knocks the kidnapper out. He then takes control of the helicopter’s autopilot, guiding it to safety while a crowd of onlookers watches in awe. In the aftermath, a SWAT team and the National Guard arrive with military precision, ensuring the president’s daughter is brought to safety. The city rejoices, and Thomas Miller—once labeled a troublemaker—receives the loudest recognition of the night as a hero. The school dance becomes a celebration of courage, teamwork, and the quiet strength of a boy who trusted his instincts even when everyone underestimated him.
