What happens if kids are the only hope to save humans from aliens? "Attack the Block" will provide the answer and a preview to the battle between the extraterrestrial things and the unlikely forces has been provided in a form of an international trailer debuted by Empire Online.

It all starts one night when Sam is walking home in a scary South London tower block and is robbed by a gang of hooded youths. She flees when the gang are attacked by a small alien creature which falls from the sky.

While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of creatures falls. The gang grab weapons, mount bikes, and set out to defend their turf. But this time, the creatures are much bigger.
