Based on the hugely popular Zac Power book series, ZAC POWER brings the beloved teenage spy to the big screen for the very first time. Rising star Parker Little leads the voice cast as Zac Power, joined by BAFTA-winning comedian, actor, presenter, and author Matt Lucas. They’re supported by an ensemble of international and Australian talent, including Kylie Cantrall, Leah Purcell, David Wenham, Tanya Hennessy, Ed Oxenbould and Tim Minchin.

Directed by Alexs Stadermann (200% Wolf, Maya the Bee: The Honey Games) and David Webster (Kangaroo Beach; Spongo, Fuzz & Jalapena), this high‑energy action adventure follows super‑spy Zac as he takes on daring missions, fierce rivalries, and the pressure of staying on top.

“Zac Power is packed with big action, wild gadgets and the kind of spy-movie mayhem that’s as ridiculous as it is thrilling. We set out to honour the spirit of the books while creating a bold, cinematic Australian adventure for families, and this teaser is just the first taste. We can’t wait for audiences to experience Zac’s first big-screen mission in cinemas next year.” – Directors, Alexs Stadermann & David Webster.

In this case, Barney voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer is an outsider for various reasons, most central to this is his oddball family. His widower father Graham (Ed Helms) scratches out a living by selling silly novelties from a home business while his old-world grandmother Donka (Olivia Colman) runs the household to hilarious effect.

When a personal A.I. robot comes on the market, Barney’s parental units can only afford a damaged and decidedly second-hand unit with a malfunctioning CPU and the innocence of a young child. United, the two grow together and learn what it means to value friendship and to take a chance on one’s self.

It’s a message that has been central to so many movies and to repeat a storyline this familiar you need to bring something new to the table. This is done with a combination of critiques of the current effects both good and bad of social media and the success that can come from adhering to a solid sense of right and wrong. It delivers this massage with technical imagination and time-tested humour.
