March 20, 2009
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 of the students, a mysterious girl who
seems to hear whispered voices, fills her sheet of paper with
rows of apparently random numbers
instead. Fast forward 50 years to the
present: A new generation of students
examines the contents of the time capsule
and the girl's cryptic message ends up in
the hands of young Caleb Myles. But it is
Caleb's father, professor Ted Myles
(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 Ted
further unravels the document's secrets, he realizes it foretells
three additional events-the last of which hints at destruction on a
global scale and seems to somehow involve Ted and his son.
When Ted's attempts to alert the authorities fall on deaf ears, he
takes it upon himself to try to prevent more destruction from
taking place. This gripping supernatural thriller charts one man's
faltering steps towards belief in the ultimate order of the universe
even as he finds himself surrounded by mounting chaos. With
the reluctant help of Diana Whelan (Rose Byrne) and Abby, the
daughter and granddaughter of the now-deceased author of the
cryptic prophecies, Ted's increasingly desperate efforts take him
on a heart-pounding race against time until he finds himself
facing the ultimate disaster-and the ultimate sacrifice.

grub called Insectosaurus. Their confinement time is cut short
however, when a mysterious alien robot lands on Earth and
