Ender's Game begins on Earth after an alien attack, when gifted children are hired by a government desperate to fight back. The kids are trained a very competitive game that's a cross between the Quidditch matches of Harry Potter and the Jedi light saber battles from Star Wars. Only the greatest and brightest will be selected. A young boy emerges as a guru strategist, and the planet's best desire to destroy the alien Formic competition.The battle room is a cube in the book, but the film will move it into a sphere. Gavin Hood adds, (What if we could see through? What if we could see out of the space, and we're moving around the Earth and flipping at the same time?

Director Gavin Hood defined the battle room as seen in the below teaser poster, saying, "This is the high-school football area, only it's in three sizes. It's the size of a football-field in all guidelines: down, up, left, right. And the idea is teams jump-out from opposite ends of this amazing space and play this amazing game of 3D-paintball, almost.".
