Next
If you can see the future, you can save it.
Directed by Lee Tamahori
Produced by Virtual Studios, Revolution Studios
A high-stakes action thriller that uses precognition as both a supernatural gift and a burden, balancing spectacle with paranoia as a reluctant hero is drawn into a nuclear terrorism plot.
Las Vegas showroom magician Cris Johnson has a secret which torments him: he can see a few minutes into the future. Sick of the examinations he underwent as a child and the interest of the government and medical establishment in his power, he lies low under an assumed name in Vegas, performing cheap tricks and living off small-time gambling "winnings." But when a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, government agent Callie Ferris must use all her wiles to capture Cris and convince him to help her stop the cataclysm.
