The Last Airbender (2010)

M. Night Shyamalan's live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender follows Aang (Noah Ringer), who, as the Avatar, is the only person capable of bending all four elements. This power is the world's only hope to stop the Fire Nation's destructive advance, putting Aang and his new friends Katara (Nicola Peltz) and Sokka (Jackson Rathbone) in the path of the ruthless Prince Zuko (Dev Patel).
