Graff reassigns Ender to Salamander Army, led by Commander Bonzo Madrid. Ender quickly adapts to the games, devising new strategies older students have not yet seen. The cadets are placed in squads and perform training games in a zero-gravity "Battle Room". Graff brings Ender to Battle School and places Ender with other cadets his age, but treats him as extraordinary, thereby subjecting him to being ostracized by the others. Over the course of 50 years, gifted children are trained by the International Fleet to become commanders of a new fleet for this counterattack.Ĭadet Andrew "Ender" Wiggin draws the attention of Colonel Hyrum Graff and Major Gwen Anderson because of his aptitude in simulated space combat and is recruited into Battle School. The Formic invasion was stopped by Mazer Rackham, who crashed his fighter plane into the Formic queenship at the apparent cost of his life. In the future, humanity is preparing to launch an attack on the homeworld of an alien race, called the Formics, that had attacked Earth and killed millions. Ender's Game received mixed reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing only $125.5 million on a $110–115 million budget. It was released in the United States, Canada, and several other countries on November 1, 2013, and was released in other territories by January 2014.

The film was released in Germany on October 24, 2013, followed by a release in the UK one day later. The supporting cast includes Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, and Viola Davis, with Abigail Breslin and Ben Kingsley. Written and directed by Gavin Hood, the film stars Asa Butterfield as Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, an unusually gifted child who is sent to an advanced military academy in space to prepare for a future alien invasion.


Ender's Game is a 2013 American military science-fiction action film based on Orson Scott Card's 1985 novel of the same name.
