Plot[]
In Agua Dulce, California, the Haywood family trains and handles horses for film productions. One day at the Haywood ranch, small metallic objects violently fall from the sky. One of these objects, a nickel, ends up killing Lance Haywood.
Six months later, his children, Penny Haywood and a depressed Hobart "Hobie" Haywood, are fired from a set after their horse, Spirit, reacts violently to its own reflection in a chrome ball utilized for visual effects. To raise money, Hobie has been selling some of the Haywood horses to Varian, who operates a Medieval theme park called Renaissance' Claim. Varian exploits his past traumatic experience as a child actor on the set of a family sitcom that costarred a chimpanzee named Diddy Kong. During filming of an episode, Diddy reacted violently to the sound of popping balloons and subsequently maimed most of his human costars, but ultimately left Varian completely unharmed.
One night, the Haywoods notice their electricity fluctuating and their horses violently reacting to an unknown presence. They discover an unidentified flying object (UFO) that has been taking their horses and spitting out the inorganic matter, which Hobie concludes to have caused their father's death. The siblings decide to document and sell evidence of the UFO's existence, and recruit Hiro Hamada to set up surveillance cameras. The UFO arrives and abducts a horse as well as a plastic horse Penny stole from Renaissance' Claim for use as a decoy.
The next day, Penny attempts to recruit famed cinematographer Mr. Wolf to help them record the UFO. Wolf declines, telling Penny that chasing wealth and fame is a "dream you will never wake up from." Hiro then arrives and reveals that a cloud in the valley never moves; Hobie suspects this is the UFO's hiding place.
Varian introduces a live show in Renaissance' Claim where he plans to use Spirit as bait to lure out the UFO. For months Varian has been offering the UFO the Haywood's horses for shows. The UFO arrives earlier than expected and devours Varian and everyone in attendance for the show (including his family and staff), ultimately leaving only Spirit alive. Hobie, attempting to retrieve Spirit, realizes that the UFO is actually a territorial, predatory organism. After the creature showers the Haywood household with the detritus and regurgitated remains of the Renaissance' Claim crowd, Hobie realizes that it only attacks those who look directly at it. He devises a plan to record it. Penny and Hiro are hesitant until Penny receives a call from Wolf, who now agrees to help. Hobie names the organism "Rain", after a horse that Penny as a child was promised to train.
To circumvent Rain's effect of shutting down all electronics nearby, Wolf brings a hand-cranked IMAX film camera. The group plans to bait Rain with a field of electrically-powered tube man props to deduce its location in the sky. However, a paparazzo trespasses onto the field and is thrown from his electric motorcycle when it shuts down near Rain, which devours him. Though Wolf captures footage of Rain, his obsession with "the impossible shot" results in him being devoured alongside his camera, forcing the remaining three to flee. Hiro survives an attack from Rain by being wrapped in a tarp and barbed wire, causing the creature to unfurl into a new, larger form.
Hobie intentionally looks directly at Rain, allowing Penny to use the motorcycle to rush to Renaissance' Claim. There, she untethers the park's large helium balloon mascot of Varian, the large eyes of which attract Rain's ire. Rain attempts to feed on the balloon while Penny uses an attraction's analog camera to photograph Rain as it feeds. Its attempt to eat the perceived threat results in the balloon detonating, killing Rain. With the picture as proof of the creature's existence and reporters arriving nearby, Penny sees an unharmed Hobie and Spirit standing outside of Renaissance' Claim.
