Earth to Echo is a 2014 American science fiction film directed by Dave Green, and produced by Ryan Kavanaugh and Andrew Panay.

Based on a screenplay by Henry Gayden, the film stars Teo Halm, Brian "Astro" Bradley, Reese C. Hartwig and Ella Wahlestedt as four neighborhood friends who find a robotic, telekinetic alien in the desert, and are soon hunted by dangerous forces who seek to take the alien, who the kids name "Echo", for themselves.

Relativity Media theatrically released the film in the United States on July 2, 2014, to mixed critical reviews and grossed $45.3 million worldwide.

Three childhood friends, Alex, Tuck, and Munch, live in a small Nevada neighborhood that will soon be demolished for a highway construction project.

The day before they're set to move, their phones all start displaying mysterious patterns, which Munch discovers lead to coordinates in the nearby desert.

To catch up to them, Alex and Emma help Tuck steal his brother's car, which they drive to the construction site where Munch and Echo are being held.

The three sneak in, but get caught by the same construction worker, who reveals himself as Dr. Lawrence Masden, a scientist who intends to keep Echo on Earth so that he can study its technology.

In a post-credit scene, Alex addresses his friends as his phone apparently starts moving and glitching out like before, implying that Echo has returned.

[4] After being delayed, Earth to Echo premiered on June 14, 2014, at the Los Angeles Film Festival and opened in theaters across the U.S. on July 2, 2014.

The website's consensus reads: "Earth to Echo doesn't do itself any favors by beggaring comparison to E.T., but for younger viewers, it should prove a reasonably entertaining diversion.
