Kin

On the edge of a rough coastal city, Eli Solinski, a sharp yet wary teen, discovers a mysterious weapon that seems to come from another world. He hides it away and uses its power in small bursts to keep his older adoptive brother Jimmy out of trouble. When ruthless men come looking for the device, the brothers go on the run, chased by mercenaries and a handful of federal agents who believe the weapon must be controlled or destroyed. The pursuit pulls two unlikely allies into danger and forces Eli to balance his instinct to protect with the consequences of wielding such force. The weapon’s pull tests loyalty, risk, and what family really means. The film also leans on Eli and Hal's dynamic, giving the drama a human anchor amid the spectacle.

Kin is a 2018 science fiction action film directed by Josh Baker with a story by Daniel Casey and Jonathan Baker. It was produced on a budget of about 30 million, and it marks a notable collaboration across a tight knit team.

Box office Kin earned 10,023,153 dollars worldwide, against a production budget of 30 million, signaling a modest commercial performance for a high octane sci fi thriller. The numbers reflect a niche appeal rather than a blockbuster launch.

Awards Kin did not receive major award nominations. Critics noted the film's kinetic energy and the performances of the young leads, with Zoë Kravitz and Myles Truitt singled out for their chemistry. Still, the movie drew little awards season buzz.

Reception and themes The film drew mixed notices. Some reviewers praised the brisk pacing, solid performances, and the gritty neon visual style, while others argued the story remains thin and the supporting cast underwritten. Its core concerns center on family bonds, the burden of power, and the aftermath of violence.
