Synopsis:

In 1958, an elementary class is asked to draw pictures of what they think is going to happen in the next 50 years. It was sealed in a time capsule for the "future" kids to open it. 50 years later, a new generation of students examines the contents of the time capsule and a cryptic message falls in the hands of young Caleb Myles (Chandler Canterbury) .

As Caleb's dad--Professor Ted Myles (
Nicolas Cage) examines the numbers, he makes a startling discovery that the encoded message predicts with pinpoint accuracy the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major global disasterfor past 50 years. And as he further unravels the document's secrets and forewarning which falls on deaf ears, he realizes the message still foretells three additional events happening within the next few days and ultimately brings the question... "what happens when the numbers run out"?

"This gripping supernatural thriller charts one man's faltering steps towards belief in the ultimate order of the universe even as he finds himself surrounded by mounting chaos. Ted's increasingly desperate efforts take him on a heart-pounding race against time until he finds himself facing the ultimate disaster--and the ultimate sacrifice." - http://www.themovieinsider.com/m2394/knowing/
