In 2086, an alien species called the Formics attacks Earth. Mazer Rackham, commander of a small reserve patrol force, halts their advance and apparently sacrifices himself during their attack.
Years later, a young cadet named Andrew "Ender" Wiggin beats a school bully named Stilson at a hand-held virtual game while Colonel Hyrum Graff and Major Gwen Anderson from the International Fleet
watch via hidden cameras. Ender is summoned to have the monitor on the
back of his neck removed. When Stilson and his gang attack him, Ender
retaliates and violently beats Stilson. Ender returns home and confesses
grief over his actions to his sister Valentine. Their older brother Peter
interrupts them and convinces Ender to play a game. He then begins
choking Ender, threatening to kill him but pulls back. Graff and
Anderson visit the Wiggin family and offer Ender a place in Battle School,
admitting that the final test was to see how Ender would react to his
monitor's removal. Graff talks privately with Ender and is able to
convince him to accept, because Ender believes that "it was what he was
born for" Ender is the last "launchie" to arrive at the shuttle taking off for
Battle School. Upon arrival, the launchies are introduced to Sergeant
Dap, who explains how the school's Battle Room works. Ender soon gains
the respect of the other launchies. Anderson authorizes for Ender to
discover the "mind game", a way for the school to secretly gauge the
emotional state of the students in the form of a video game. Ender's
form in the mind game, a mouse, meets a giant who offers him two drinks,
one of which he claims is poisoned. After finding both drinks to be
poisoned, Ender has his character leap into the giant's eye, killing
him. Anderson comments that she has never seen anyone do this.
