Plot Summary
Premise The film revolves around six children from different countries (England, USA, China, India, Russia, and Nigeria) who are found to have superhuman intelligence and powerful psychic abilities. They were all born under mysterious circumstances, with their mothers claiming they had no fathers.
Conflict The children are brought to London to be studied, but they escape and take refuge in an abandoned church. Governments become alarmed by their powers and their ability to share a collective consciousness, fearing they pose a threat to global security or could be exploited by rival nations.
Escalation A psychologist, Dr. Tom Llewellyn, tries to advocate for a peaceful resolution, believing the children may be an advanced, but not inherently evil, form of human evolution.

Resolution Ultimately, the children decide to lower their defenses and sacrifice themselves, realizing they are incompatible with primitive humanity. A tragic accident, involving a dropped screwdriver accidentally triggering a command, leads to the military destroying the church and killing the children just as a peaceful resolution was possible.
