Synopsis

iBoy (2017) is a British sci-fi action film by Adam Randall that you can watch online on iFILM. London teenager Tom phones a girl, walks into a gang shootout, and catches a bullet to the head along with shards of his own smartphone.

When Tom (Bill Milner) wakes from his coma, he isn't the same kid. Phone fragments have fused with his brain, so now he hears other people's calls, reads their texts, and bends nearby tech with a thought. It doesn't make adolescence any easier. The same thugs have brutally attacked his friend Lucy (Maisie Williams), and Tom decides his new gift is a weapon for payback. The deeper he digs into the gang, the more lethal the game gets.

Netflix built this as a grim estate-set superhero fable, leaning closer to a social drama about youth crime than to a Marvel comic. Williams, fresh off Game of Thrones, plays it hard and unsentimental. It's a short, angry watch for anyone who likes their sci-fi with a street-level edge. Stream iBoy (2017) online on iFILM.
