The science fiction thriller leaps into a new realm with JUMPER, which
begins the epic adventures of a man who discovers that he possesses
the exhilarating ability to instantly teleport anywhere in the world
he can imagine. From New York to Tokyo, from the ruins of Rome to the
heart of the Saharan Desert, anywhere is possible for David Rice (HAYDEN
CHRISTENSEN), until he begins to see that his freedom is not total,
that he’s not alone . . . but part of an ongoing, global war that
threatens the very survival of his rare and extraordinary kind.
David Rice has grown up with a mysterious power of which many have
dreamed. He is completely and utterly mobile, able to zap through wormholes
in the space-time fabric to any city, any building, any place at all
that his mind desires. In the blink of an eye, he can “jump”
from one side of the earth to the other and back again – he can
tour twenty different sunsets in one night, he can have breakfast on
the Egyptian Sphinx, spend the day surfing in Australia, then pop over
to Paris for dinner and enjoy dessert in Japan. He can pass through
walls and locked bank safes and enter the most forbidden chambers. So
far, he has used his powers to run away from his past, to take advantage
of unlimited wealth, to remain fiercely independent. He’s never
known limits or boundaries or consequences. Or true connection. Until
now.
But when David discovers another young man like himself, a fiery, globetrotting
rebel named Griffin (JAMIE BELL), the truth of his existence begins
to dawn. He is not just a lone freak of nature, but part of a long line
of genetic anomalies known as Jumpers, none of whom are safe. Now, David
has now been identified by the secret organization sworn to kill him
and all Jumpers. And he is about to be relentlessly pursued in a chase
that will literally bound around the planet – as he becomes a
key player in an unseen battle that has been raging, invisible to most
of humanity, through the ages.
