The film invents a skill that no human has ever possessed: to see for two seconds reliably into the future. Such a capability comes in handy. You can win against the Casino, you can prevent a robber from killing two people, and more.Yet our hero (Nicolas Cage) is ambivalent about his skill. It helps him with his small-time magician act in Vegas and allows him to improve his income by beating the blackjack dealer. But during childhood, it also subjected him to a visit with an endless number of psychologists and counselors who wanted to help this strange little kid. When the government now identifies him as someone who might be able to stop terrorist from triggering a nuclear bomb in LA, our hero is not eager to sign up. But a dedicated FBI agent (miscast by Julianne Moore) and the terrorists who learn about his skills are not willing to let him mend his own business. Meanwhile our hero has discovered that in one instance he can see more than two seconds into the future: a beautiful girl promises to be his life partner.  The beauty of girl (played by Jessica Biel) more than the nuclear bomb threat propels the film forward.
