In 1977, the government has secretly decoded a transmission, sent by the alien Antareans, which says that a deadly race known as the Worg are coming to destroy Earth. To help defend Earth, the Antareans have sent a powerful battle suit for the "Champion of Earth" to wear. The government begins training Adam from birth to be the Champion. Thirty-eight years later, Officer Anthony Hagan is called to a party where Zachary "Zach" Spencer is causing trouble and where he runs into his daughter and Zach's girlfriend, Mindy. After tasing Zach, Hagan drives him away, only to find Woodrow "Woody" Johnson and Herman Mendoza shooting unauthorized fireworks. Herman defiantly launches a massive rocket. The firework strikes an incoming UFO and causes it to crash nearby.
