Weapons Movie

At 2:17 a.m. in a quiet suburban town, seventeen children from the same elementary school class rise from their beds, walk out of their homes, and vanish into the dark. Only one child, Alex, turns up at school the next morning, leaving his teacher, Justine, facing suspicion and public fury. Put on leave and increasingly fixated on Alex’s flat, affectless behavior, she follows him home, noticing that his house is sealed off from the world and his parents sit unnervingly still behind newspaper‑covered windows. When a strange late‑night encounter convinces her that something is terribly wrong inside that house, she pushes the overwhelmed school principal and unhelpful authorities for a wellness check, only to find herself doubting her own judgment.

Elsewhere in town, Archer, a weary construction contractor whose son is among the missing, grows frustrated with the official investigation and begins combing through doorbell footage and neighborhood gossip on his own. His search reveals that the children’s paths converged in a way that feels deliberate, not random. A local cop, Paul, juggling a crumbling marriage and a secret affair with Justine, tries to keep the case from consuming him while clashing with his superiors and brutalizing a homeless addict during an arrest, a violent outburst that hints at deeper rot in the community. As these threads intertwine, small inconsistencies and eerie coincidences accumulate, suggesting that the disappearances are part of something carefully orchestrated—and far from over.
