If you could see a few minutes into the future, would you want to? Nicolas Cage plays a Las Vegas magician that has the gift of premonition, though he's none too happy about it. After a childhood of being prodded by government scientists he's chosen a life of relative obscurity, getting by on his talents. Then an attractive government agent (Julianne Moore) decides coopting his skills is the only way to avoid a 24 type nuclear incident in LA. But to stop the apocalypse, he's got to do more than see the future...he's got to face it. (EL)
