Aliens in the Attic Wiki

Tom Pearson (Carter Jenkins) is a 15-year-old techno-geek and the main protagonist in Aliens in the Attic. He is the Older brother of Hannah and Bethany Pearson, and the Middle son of Stuart and Nina Pearson. Unlike his parents, Tom is not excited about going on a family vacation.

Tom is sick of getting bullied for being a straight-A student, so he flunks his grades purposefully in order to appear cool. His parents learn about this and his dad tries to convince him that intelligence has its merits, but Tom disagrees. The family vacation does not start well for Tom; he gets stuck in the middle seat on the drive, Bethany's annoying boyfriend Ricky shows up at the lake house without warning, and he gets forced out of the best room by his cousin Jake.

When the aliens arrive, Tom uses his intelligence to fight them off. As a result of his smart ideas, his cousins come to recognize him as their leader and Tom realizes that being smart has its advantages. In the aftermath of the alien invasion he has become closer to his siblings and cousins and both Jake and Bethany, who he didn't get along with previously, now respect him.

Appearance[]

Tom has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and wears a blue t-shirt under a plaid shirt. He has a simple short haircut and smiles very rarely. His posture early in the movie is very drawn into himself displaying his low confidence.
