Mercury rising
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
Renegade FBI Agent Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis) combats ruthless Federal agents to protect Simon, a 9-year-old autistic boy who has cracked the government's new unbreakable code. He can read Mercury, the most advanced encryption code, as easily as other kids read English. The ability renders the new billion dollar secret code vulnerable, especially if enemies of the USA should learn of Simon's abilities and capture him. Programme chief Nick Kudrow (Alec Baldwin) orders the security threat eliminated, but Kudrow hasn't counted on Jeffries getting involved. As they are trailed by deadly assassins, Jeffries quickly realises that no-one can be trusted. Now time is running out and he discovers his only hope of survival is using Simon's special ability to bring their adversaries to justice.Security censorship classification
