Ben 10: Alien Swarm

Ben 10: Alien Swarm (2009) is a live-action TV movie set in the Cartoon Network universe — watch online on iFILM. Five years have passed since Ben Tennyson first found the Omnitrix. He's fifteen now, the watch has been sitting in a drawer, and things have been quiet. Then Grandpa Max vanishes.

Ben and his cousin Gwen dig into the disappearance and run into something new: alien microchips that embed in human hosts and turn them into extensions of a collective. A girl from Ben's past shows up with information no one else has, and the Omnitrix comes back out of retirement. Ryan Kelley plays the older Ben with enough awkwardness to make the character feel like an actual teenager rather than a polished superhero. Directed by Alex Winter, the film runs 69 minutes.

It's built for viewers who already know the mythology — no hand-holding for newcomers, just the story moving forward at pace. Stream Ben 10: Alien Swarm online on iFILM.
