Summary:
Cris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) can see into his future. He can only see two minutes ahead, with the
exception of a vision he once had of a woman walking into a diner. Because there are no details
other than the time, he goes to the diner twice each day at 8:09, to await her arrival. He works asa small-time magician in Las Vegas, where he supplements his income with gambling, using his
powers to win against the house. He draws the attention of FBI agent Callie Ferris (Julianne
Moore), who has figured out his ability and wants to stop terrorists from detonating a nuclear
weapon. Before Ferris can approach Cris, however, his gambling draws the attention of casino
security. On his way out of the casino, he stops an imminent robbery, yet is chased by security
agents. Using his ability to forecast the actions of his pursuers, he eludes both of them and Las
Vegas police. Ferris tracks Cris to his home, but he escapes after foreseeing her arrival. Later
that night, the casino's security chief is approached by two of the terrorists, is interrogated about
Johnson and is then killed.
The following morning, Cris is at the diner again when he sees Liz Cooper (Jessica Biel), the
woman from his vision. It turns out that not only can Cris see the future, but can see the effects
of what any number of his actions can do to that future. After envisioning a number of different
approaches — all of which fall flat — he meets Liz after intervening when her ex-boyfriend
arrives. Knowing that she is heading for Flagstaff, Arizona, Cris charms her into giving him a
ride. Ferris follows, while the terrorists decide to kill him. A washed-out road forces Cris and Liz
to spend the night in a motel. With the weapon tracked to Los Angeles, Ferris convinces her
superiors to let her bring Cris in. The terrorists follow in the hope that the agents will lead them
to Cris.
Later that day, Agent Ferris confronts Liz while she is walking near the hotel. Claiming Cris is a
dangerous sociopath, she asks her to drug Cris so that they can bring him in peacefully. Instead,
Liz warns Cris, who tells her about his secret. When she asks why he will not help the FBI stop
the terrorists, he explains his limitations, noting the exception for events involving her. Asking
for Liz to wait for him, he tries to escape from the FBI agents waiting to arrest him but is
captured after saving Ferris from logs tumbling down the side of a mountain. Unable to kill Cris,
the terrorists kidnap Liz instead.
In custody, Cris is strapped to a chair with his eyes held open and forced to watch television until
he has a vision that can help the FBI. Expecting him to see a report about the detonation of the
bomb, instead he envisions a broadcast from several hours in the future in which Liz is killed by
a bomb while strapped to a wheelchair as bait for Cris. Cris escapes from captivity and races to
the parking garage where she will be killed. Pursuing Cris to the garage, Ferris promises to help
save her as long as Cris will help stop the bomb, and sets up a plan to draw out the terrorists.
Using his ability, Cris helps the FBI track the terrorists to the port where they are based. When
they arrive, after a series of exchanges, Cris is able to walk right up to the terrorist leader and
avoid being hit, by seeing where the bullets will go and dodging them. After killing the terrorists
and saving Liz, they find that the bomb has already been moved. Ferris shows Cris a
seismograph hoping that he will see any tremors caused by explosions before they happen. As he

stares at the screen he realizes that he has made a mistake and that he was too late; the bomb
detonates out at sea and completely destroys the port, as well as the rest of the city.
The timeline reverts back to Cris and Liz in bed at the hotel in Arizona, before Liz goes outside
to be confronted by Ferris. Because of Liz's involvement in events, Cris has been able to
envision everything that could happen leading to the nuclear explosion. "Everytime you look intothe future, it changes."
Cris calls Ferris and offers to help prevent the nuclear disaster, then asks Liz to wait for him.
Next” is all about?
“A Las Vegas magician who can see into the future is pursued by FBI agents seeking to
use his abilities to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack.”
Moral:
If you can see the future, use your ability in rite way.
Don’t waste it.
Help the others.
Don’t be selfish.
