The 5th Wave follows 16-year-old Cassie Sullivan and her family.
Waves of alien strategic invasion have devastated the world and Earth's
population is on the verge of extinction. Humankind is knocked back to
the Stone Age. Cassie's mother is dead from a modified plague by the
Others (the Aliens). Cassie's remaining family move into a neighboring
refuge camp. The army comes in and says they are there to help. However,
the army buses the kid out of the camp and promises to bus the adults
out next.
Cassie gets separated from her brother. Her brother is taken by the
Army for care and protection. Her father and other survivors in Ohio are
killed in a massacre by the army. Cassie scavenges her way through to
the base to meet her 5-year-old brother, Sam. Cassie is saved from an
enemy sniper by Evan Walker. Cassie falls in love with him and later
learns he is an Other in humanoid form. Cassie learns that Colonel Vosch
and the Army is actually the Others and the fifth wave they have
planned is to use children to eliminate the rest of the earth's
survivors by misleading them.
She learns the hard way to trust no one and leaves him. The only
thing that keeps Cassie going is the hope that she can save her brother
from the "training" camp established by the Army (Others). Meanwhile Ben
Parish, Cassie's crush before the wave and her brother are in the same
squad trained under the Others. Ben also comes to know the Others plans.
Evan who follows Cassie helps her and Ben to save Sam and demolish the
training facility. The Others evacuate from the facility with the intent
to deploy the children as soon as possible to other cities. Ben and his
squad is seen enjoying their meal with Cassie and ponders hope as
humanity's driving force for survival
