Synopsis
Nicolas
Cage stars in Knowing, an action-thriller 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 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 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 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. With the reluctant help of
Diana Wayland (Rose Byrne) and Abby Wayland, the daughter and
granddaughter of the now-deceased author of the 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.
