Grade 5-10-Since Alex Rider is a teenage spy, the gadget inventors must come up with various devices that someone his age would logically have in his possession.
Smithers emphasizes that none of the M16 gadgets are deadly (Alex is, after all, still a boy), although he also describes Scorpia's pizza delivery assassin kit and the CIA Geiger counter games console.
As fans of teen spy Alex Rider know, nothing is more fun or mind-boggling than the gadgets that time and again help free him from tight spots, such as the Game Boy that doubled as a Geiger counter in Skeleton Key.

 Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker, 2006, A Review by Phil Calabro   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Alex Rider (Pettyfer) finishes off the day reading his paper about his "family", which doesn't exist except for his uncle Ian (Ewan McGregor in a cheeky cameo), who is being killed as Alex explains his scenario to the class.
However, his age is questionable - Alex Rider (in the novel) is meant to be a 14-year old whiz kid, unlike the aged Pettyfer.
This is supposedly the first installment of the 'Alex Rider' series, but its minimal US release (a meager 200 screens) is not going to do it any justice.

 Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker at WorstPreviews™
Alex was always strongly encouraged by his uncle to indulge in extreme sports like martial arts and scuba diving.
The entire Alex Rider franchise most closely resembles the Harry Potter series, but when you look at the numbers, the popularity of Horowitz’s books is almost negligible when compared to J.K. Rowling’s immensely admired novels.
The Alex Rider series appears to have all the necessary, larger than life adventures, but I fear that it might focus excessively on implausible action without properly developing the characters.

 Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker Review | TVGuide.com
That said, U.K. novelist Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider books are preteen best sellers and, as a way station between the SPY KIDS pictures and the hard stuff, director Geoffrey Sax's adaptation beats the stuffing out of the vapid CODY BANKS movies.
Imagine Alex's surprise when, after Ian dies in a car accident, he learns that his uncle wasn't in the boring banking business at all — he was a sophisticated superspy.
Alex eventually agrees to goes undercover — maybe it's the promise of gadgets — as a computer nerd to infiltrate the top-secret research facility of American billionaire Darrius Sayle (Mickey Rourke).

Using his intelligence and creativity, and aided by non-lethal gadgets dreamed up by MI6's delightfully eccentric, overweight and disheveled Smithers, Alex is able to extricate himself from situations when all seems completely lost.

Alex Pettyfer stars as 14-year-old Alex Rider, who -- after his parents' tragic deaths -- ends up living in London with his banker uncle, Ian Rider (Ewan McGregor).
What's more, he'd actually been training Alex to become a spy when the time was right, making sure his nephew learned martial arts, scuba diving, and mountain climbing, as well as French, German, and Japanese.
Well, at the time of his death, Ian was investigating Darrius Sayle (a rather uninspired Mickey Rourke), a shady businessman with ties to several dangerous and hostile nations.
