Anxious to avoid becoming the focus of a government experiment into precognition, he works under an assumed name doing magic tricks and lives off small-time gambling winnings. But when terrorists threaten to explode a nuclear device, he is coerced into helping the FBI prevent disaster. Also with Julianne Moore, Jessica Biel, Tory Kittles and Michael Trucco. Directed by Lee Tamahori. [1:36]
