The movie is directed by Clay Moffatt and stars Gianna Frangella, Clay Moffatt, and Ben Vazquez. The film opens on David and Jimmy who are in their room, brainstorming ideas for a superhero. They name him "Pocketman," who has the power to shrink and fit into tiny spaces. They also create a sidekick for him called "Cargoboy" who has super-strength. With a bit of CGI, they indulge themselves in their own fantasy world by playing the superhero and sidekick through their imagination.

The story then takes a comical turn as the boys become involved in a science fair at their school. They are pitted against over-achievers and geniuses with state-of-the-art projects. David and Jimmy, however, feel they need to prove themselves and decide to showcase their superhero. While exhibiting his powers, Pocketman breaks free during a demonstration and causes a bit of chaos at the science fair.

As a result of this mishap, a mysterious stranger approaches the boys and offers them to oversee his top-secret project. The stranger gives them a piece of equipment that they do not understand and warns them not to touch it or even examine it too closely. However, the boys, who are curious by nature, open the box and accidentally damage the equipment.

Before they can tell the stranger, they are pulled through a portal and transported to another dimension where they meet "The Ruler," an alien character who was awaiting the delivery of that same equipment. The Ruler is furious and has the boys arrested. At this point, Pocketman and Cargoboy are put to the test on how they can use their superhero powers to save themselves and find a way out of this alien world.

The unlikely duo befriends an alien girl named Tar Tar, who becomes their ally, and together they plan their escape from the clutches of The Ruler. The script is peppered with jokes, banter, and witty one-liners that add to the humor of the movie.
