In the movie The Sneak Over, during the summer before fifth grade, Henry Hudson finds himself feeling lost and struggling to find his identity. He feels like he doesn't quite fit in with his peers and spends most of his time feeling invisible and unnoticed.
One day, while wandering around his neighborhood, Henry stumbles upon a group of enthusiastic and somewhat immature film geeks who call themselves "The Movie Makers." They are passionate about making short films and have formed a tight-knit friendship based on their shared love for movies. Intrigued by their energy and acceptance, Henry decides to join them, hoping that this might be the chance to find his place in the world.
As Henry becomes more involved with The Movie Makers, he starts to gain confidence and discovers his own creative talent. He contributes ideas, acts in their films, learns about filmmaking techniques, and begins to express himself in ways he never thought were possible. The group becomes not only his friends but his support system, encouraging him to embrace his uniqueness and take risks.
However, things take a turn when a group of neighborhood bullies starts terrorizing Henry's community. The bullies target not only Henry but also The Movie Makers, threatening their projects and even resorting to violence. Determined to stand up against the bullies and protect his newfound friends, Henry decides to take matters into his own hands.
With the help of The Movie Makers, Henry devises a plan to expose the bullies' true colors and put an end to their reign of terror. Through their filmmaking skills, they create a documentary-style film that exposes the bullies' actions in a powerful and public way.
