Story: |
Nicolas Cage stars in "Knowing", a gripping action-thriller of global proportions about a
professor who stumbles on terrifying predictions about the future - and sets out to prevent
them from coming true.
In 1958, as part of the dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students
is asked to draw pictures to be stored in a time capsule. But one mysterious girl fills her
sheet of paper with rows of apparently random numbers instead.
Fifty years later, a new generation of students examines the capsule's contents and the
girl's cryptic message ends up in the hands of young Caleb Koestler. But it is Caleb's
father, professor John Koestler (Nicolas Cage), who makes the startling discovery that
the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates
of every major disaster of the past 50 years. As John further unravels the document's
chilling secrets, he realizes the document foretells three additional events - the last of
which hints at destruction on a global scale and seems to somehow involve John and his son.
When John's attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf ears, he takes it upon himself
to try to prevent more destruction from taking place.
