Enredo

At Camp Spirit Thunder, high school cheer leaders compete. The red team/Sharks' cutie, Carson, and blue team/Jets' hunk, Penn, are in love. Does that make them archenemies like the Sharks and Jets?

Southern California high school senior Carson arrives at the all-important "Cheer Camp Nationals" determined to lead her squad, the West High Sharks, to victory. But chic New Yorker Brooke and her team, the East High Jets, are equally steadfast in their pursuit of the competition's coveted "Spirit Stick." As tension mounts between the two rival squads, Carson falls for fellow cheerleader Penn, not realizing he's a Jet. When Brooke discovers the budding romance, she raises the stakes by challenging Carson to a one-on-one cheer-off. A spectacular "cheer fighting" sequence erupts into a no-holds-barred brawl and cheerleaders on both sides are suspended from the competition. With their dreams of taking home the top prize all but shattered, the leaders of both squads realize they'll have to take drastic measures to stay in the game.—Universal Pictures

Fourth 'Bring It On' movie is set at a cheerleader camp in Florida with a 'West Side Story' musical feel has the female captain of the West Side Sharks meeting and romancing a male member of the East Coast Jets amid their different team rivalries.—Anonymous

Macho army general's brat Penn told neither the team about his background nor his old man that his hobby isn't martial arts but cheer-leading. On camp for the selection of teams to participate in the national final, Jet Penn falls in love with Carson, the captain of a Californian rival team, who soon thinks he hid his identity so he could spy on her, maybe even steal the legendary baton, which each team is to guard for one night. It disappears while they sneaked out to a fun fair, and the alleged bad lucks seems to befall all camp, until a radical solution is found: combining the remaining champions from both rival teams.—KGF Vissers

The fiercely competitive West Coast cheerleading squad known as the "Sharks" travels from Eden Hills, California to the sunny, high-energy locale of Orlando, Florida, to attend the prestigious Camp Spirit Thunder. The camp serves as the battleground for a national cheerleading showdown, where the ultimate prize is the honor of representing the United States in a global exhibition tour. The Sharks' determined captain, Carson (Ashley Benson), has her sights firmly set on claiming victory after years of bitter defeat at the hands of the East Coast "Jets," led by the equally ambitious and sharp-tongued Brooke (Cassie Scerbo). Intent on transforming her team's long-standing losing streak, Carson issues strict orders: there will be no distractions, no fun, and no room for error.

Carson's resolve is immediately tested during a tense beachside practice session, where the Sharks' presence provokes mockery from Brooke and her ditzy sidekick, Chelsea (Jennifer Tisdale). Tempers flare when Aeyesha (Anniese Taylor Dendy) nearly comes to blows with Brooke, forcing Carson to intervene and reassert her leadership by dismissing the team.

Later that day, while rehearsing transitions near Universal Studios' iconic Double Dragon rollercoaster, Carson locks eyes with the charming and enigmatic Penn (Michael Copon). Their flirtatious encounter is abruptly interrupted when Carson is bowled over by a distracted mother with a stroller. Penn gallantly rushes to her aid, sparking a playful banter between the two. Despite her attempts to remain aloof, Carson takes Penn's phone number, hinting at a growing attraction.

Carson, torn between her budding feelings and her commitment to victory, confides in Aeyesha about Penn but reaffirms her focus on defeating the Jets. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Carson, Penn reveals to Brooke and Chelsea his infatuation with the Sharks' captain. Alarmed and suspicious, the Jets' leadership warns Penn that Carson may be manipulating him for insider information. Dismissing their concerns as jealousy, Penn continues to pursue Carson.

The two rival teams converge at Camp Spirit Thunder's opening ceremony, where the camp's eccentric and spirited owner, Pepper Driscoll (Noel Johansen), presents the coveted Spirit Stick, a storied talisman believed to bring good fortune to its holder. However, Pepper gravely warns that any team who loses the Stick will be cursed with relentless misfortune for the remainder of the competition. The Jets, as reigning champions, are given the honor of guarding the Spirit Stick first, with Brooke scheming to use Penn as a pawn to expose his loyalty to the Jets. Carson, upon discovering Penn's allegiance, accuses him of deceit and cuts ties, despite his protestations of innocence.

Tensions reach a boiling point at the Hard Rock Hotel poolside when the Sharks and Jets engage in a heated cheer-off. The confrontation culminates in Brooke provocatively kissing Penn, prompting Carson to retaliate with a spontaneous cheer routine - only to slip and fall into the pool, much to the delight of the onlookers. Humiliated and heartbroken, Carson ignores Penn's attempts to reach out, though she secretly harbors feelings for him.

The Spirit Stick is subsequently entrusted to Carson and the Sharks. However, Carson's guard slips when Penn entices her to join him for a covert late-night ride on the Double Dragon. During their clandestine escapade, Penn confides that he secured a scholarship to attend Camp Spirit Thunder and withheld this truth from his team out of embarrassment. Meanwhile, Carson's absence and the missing Spirit Stick spark a panic among the Sharks, who confront her and Penn. The Sharks accuse Penn of luring Carson away on purpose, so the Jets could steal the Spirit Stick. The Jets soon arrive, leading to a chaotic confrontation in which Carson, feeling betrayed, publicly reveals Penn's secret to his teammates. Disillusioned, Penn walks away, disappointed by Carson's lack of trust.

True to Pepper's warning, the Sharks suffer a string of catastrophic misfortunes: injuries plague the squad, Ruben (David Starzyk) loses his swim trunks in a waterslide mishap, Aeyesha's hair extension is ensnared in an elevator, and Sarah (Kierstin Koppel) collides with a housekeeping cart while attempting a cartwheel. Ostracized and demoralized, the Sharks become pariahs among the other teams.

Desperate to lift the curse, the Sharks stage a late-night ritual in the Universal Studios backlot to appease the so-called "Cheer Gods." The Jets interrupt their ritual, leading to an impromptu cheer-off parodying West Side Story. Security swiftly intervenes, and both teams are reported to Pepper, who delivers a scathing reprimand and disqualifies them from the competition.

Realizing neither Penn nor Brooke stole the Spirit Stick, Carson experiences a moment of clarity and proposes a bold alliance with Brooke to form a united squad. Initially resistant, Brooke reconsiders after Penn, torn by loyalty and love, persuades her to give Carson's plan a chance. Carson and Brooke approach Pepper with their proposal, only to face initial rejection - until their camp is invaded by the Flamingoes, an elite squad from Camp Victory led by the egotistical Vance Vorhees (David Starzyk). Recognizing the threat they pose, Pepper relents and approves the newly combined team.

The Sharks and Jets merge to form the East-West "Shets." Despite initial friction and clashing styles, they gradually learn to collaborate. Carson attempts to reconcile with Penn, but he remains cautious, wounded by her earlier betrayal. Brooke encourages Penn to forgive Carson, and he finally softens after Carson delivers a vulnerable speech to the team, revealing her own insecurities about her leadership abilities. Inspired, the Shets bond over their shared fears, forging a genuine team spirit.

Empowered, Penn calls his father to confess his true whereabouts (his family believed he was attending martial arts camp). He even offers to repay the Jets for the scholarship, but Brooke refuses. Determined to unify the team, Penn suggests integrating team-building dance exercises, delighting Carson and solidifying their cohesion.

Armed with strategy inspired by The Art of War by Sun Tzu, the Shets attempt to spy on the Flamingoes and are intimidated by their complex stunts. However, Carson experiences a eureka moment, devising a routine inspired by the Double Dragon rollercoaster - a daring, high-flying stunt that could clinch victory.

In a nail-biting climax, the East-West Shets execute the rollercoaster-inspired stunt with flawless precision, securing first place while the Flamingoes finish second. Vance, revealed to have stolen the Spirit Stick in a desperate bid for victory, returns it to Pepper, conceding that the Stick's true power lies only in the faith placed in it.

The film concludes with Carson and Penn sharing a celebratory kiss, cementing their bond. The Shets embark on their world tour as cheer ambassadors, taking their hard-won skills and camaraderie global.
