Director: Doug Liman

Cast: Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Jamie Bell, and Samuel L. Jackson |

David Rice (Christensen) always believed he was perfectly ordinary --- until he
accidentally discovered he possessed a "talent" that is nothing less than extraordinary.
David is a "JUMPER" who can teleport himself to the streets of New York and Tokyo,
the ruins of Rome, and the summit of Mt. Everest. He can see twenty sunsets in one
night, whisk his girlfriend around the world in the blink of an eye, and grab millions
of dollars in a matter of minutes. But David’s global odyssey takes a deadly turn
when finds himself relentlessly pursued by a secret organization sworn to kill Jumpers.
Forming an uneasy alliance with another Jumper, David becomes a key player in a
war that has been raging for thousands of years. As these world-changing events
unfold, David begins to discover the secrets and mythology behind his incredible
ability. |

What Are You Really Burning?
With the Australian film industry losing over $230m yearly, and illegal DVD’s almost equalling legal copies in circulation (47m vs 52m), film and TV piracy poses a real threat to our economy, jobs and the future of our films.

| Filmmaking in Australia is a risky business, with at best only 4 out of 10 movies ever recouping their initial investment. Like every business, the industry relies on its profits to invest in future products. The revenue lost from piracy means there is less investment money available. Less money means fewer films are financed, which means fewer jobs are created, and there are fewer films for us to see. |
