The Lightning Code (2025) is really good. It’s about this teenage inventor who unlocks Nikola Tesla's lost secret to limitless perpetual energy: He doesn't know the true, sinister intentions of the corporate executives offering to help his mission. He can feel the pressure of completing his missing mother's legacy. And he begins navigating his way through a dangerous web of corporate espionage. The problem is that the executives at Luxos Energy are incredibly ruthless and plan to weaponize his discovery. There are several high-stakes obstacles that he and his crew face. But it’s fun to watch them troubleshoot these crazy scenarios where they have to outsmart a massive tech empire, and bring along an assortment of friends—including a loyal little robot—who all use their unique skills to save the day in this Angel Studios release. The Lightning Code is definitely worth a watch.
