Summary

17 year old Pete Riley thinks he has it pretty tough. He's the assistant manager of a huge cinema, there's a big Hollywood premiere happening tonight, and he's friends with like, 37 named characters that this film expects us to keep track of. An impossible task for a movie audience, let alone one stressed boy.

But buckle up folks, because Pete's evening is about to get a whole lot weirder as a mysterious phantom starts stalking his megaplex, messing with the screenings, terrorising the customers and threatening to ruin the premiere. Will Pete be able to unmask the phantom and save the show? How is the phantom doing any of this? Why is Mickey Rooney in this film? The answers to these questions and more, await!
