Next is a 2007 science fiction film based on the science fiction short story “The Golden Man” by Philip K. Dick. The film is directed by Lee Tamahori and stars Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore, and Jessica Biel.

Cris Johnson (Nicolas Cage) was born with an incredible, if somewhat limited, superpower that has tormented him for years, namely, the ability to see two minutes into the future. For years, he has been able to keep a low profile, even while utilizing his unique ability to make a living as a Las Vegas showroom magician and small-time gambler.

He is unaware that he has caught the attention of FBI agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore), who is constantly searching for any new tools that may help her prevent future terrorist attacks on the country. When a terrorist group threatens to detonate a nuclear device in Los Angeles, Ferris tries to seek out Cris for help. Having undergone numerous uncomfortable examinations as a child, Cris wants nothing to do with the government.

Instead, he hopes to make a life with Liz (Jessica Biel), a woman that he sees as the love of his life and his destiny. Together, the two go on the run, but sooner or later, they will have to yield to the endless pursuit and Cris will be faced with a difficult ultimatum.
