Description: In the future, humanity is preparing to strike the homeworld of an alien species called the Formics, who previously attacked Earth, resulting in the deaths of millions. The Formic invasion was halted by Mazer Rackham, who sacrificed his life by crashing his fighter plane into the Formic queenship. Over the next 50 years, gifted children are trained by the International Fleet to become commanders of a new fleet for this counterattack.
Andrew “Ender” Wiggin, a talented cadet, captures the attention of Colonel Hyrum Graff and Major Gwen Anderson due to his exceptional skills in simulated space combat. He is recruited into Battle School, where Graff places him with other cadets but treats him as extraordinary, leading to his isolation.
At Battle School, the cadets are divided into squads and train in a zero-gravity “Battle Room.” Ender quickly adapts and develops innovative strategies. He is later reassigned to Salamander Army under Commander Bonzo Madrid, who underestimates him and excludes him from training. However, another cadet, Petra Arkanian, mentors Ender privately. During a critical match, Ender steps in to help Petra and secures a victory for Salamander Army.
Simultaneously, Ender engages in a computerized “mind game” set in a fantasy world, where he faces challenging scenarios. He devises unconventional solutions to solve seemingly impossible problems. As the game progresses, he encounters a Formic and simulated images of his siblings, suggesting the game is being tailored to his interactions.
