MANILA, Philippines - Upside Down starts with Adam (Jim Sturgees, star of One Day) telling the story of his planet, unique from other planets as it is the only one that has dual gravity. Two planets live next to one another. The two worlds are separated.
While Up is rich and prosperous, Down is poor. Up buys cheap oil from Down and sells electricity back to Down at much higher prices. Going Up is strictly forbidden and the only con- nection between the two worlds is through the company TransWorld.
As a child, Adam secretly climbs a moun- tain that gets very close to the Up world. There he meets Eden (Kirsten Dunst, star of Spider-Man), a girl from Up. Years later, the friendship grows into a romantic re- lationship. They meet on their mountains and Adam uses a rope to pull Eden towards Down. As Eden sits on Adam’s shoulders, they form an anti-gravity object that easily floats. But they are found by Border Patrols, and while Adam is trying to pass Eden back to her planet, he gets shot and drops her.
When he returns home, his aunt is arrested and her home burned down. Years passed, Adam thinks Eden is dead. Adam has gone back to his old life, believing he will never see Eden again. Meanwhile, back in Up, Eden becomes an officer at TransWorld.
Ten years later, Adam learns that Eden survived the fall on that fateful day, and now works in the towering skyscraper that connects their two plan- ets. Determined to declare his love for Eden even in the face of certain death, Adam hatches a daring plan to enter her world, and challenge the unjust laws that govern both of their lives.
Upside Down opens Feb. 6 in theaters nation- wide.
