Chronicle is a 2012 found-footage sci-fi thriller film directed by Josh Trank that follows the adventures of three teenage friends who receive telekinetic abilities after exploring a mysterious cave underground. Traditionally, superhero films feature a heroic protagonist combating the forces of evil — often donned in a themed costume or flashy attire. Chronicle, however, unpacks the potential drawbacks of being bestowed with supernatural abilities while struggling with a lack of identity and mental health fragility.
Projected by Fox to rake in $8 million in its Super Bowl weekend opening debut, the 2012 sci-fi thriller made more than $20 million at the domestic box office upon its release. Additionally, with a meager $15 million budget, the film was not expected to be a commercial success. However, Chronicle exceeded expectations and pulled in over $125 million at the box office. Despite its massive success, Chronicle never received a sequel, which may have preserved the value of the atypical superhero film.
Andrew brings his camera with him to the party to continue recording his video diary. After his filming causes one of the party attendees to become uncomfortable, Andrew steps outside the house alone. He is then approached by Steve, an amiable, popular student played by Creed star Michael B. Jordan, who asks Andrew to follow him into the woods to record a large manhole that he and Matt discovered. The three journey down the hole where they discover a glowing crystalline object. The object suddenly begins to react violently, and the camera cuts out. A few days later, the teenage trio develops telekinetic abilities, though they suffer nosebleeds whenever they overexert themselves. Early on, it appears that Andrew has the most control over his newfound ability, as he can stop a baseball thrown at him and keep it suspended in the air.
