A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between "Jumpers" and those who have sworn to kill them.

The thrilling and imaginative tale of Jumper is, in the words of co-writer and producer Simon Kinberg, “the origin story of a hero – an accidental, very reluctant hero who is just on the cusp of beginning to wonder what would happen if he used his extraordinary power to help others in jeopardy.” Director Doug Liman, Kinberg and producer Lucas Foster spent the last several years developing not just the Jumper screenplay, but the rich mythology and back-story of an epic adventure about a young man trying to forge a real life in spite of his fantastic, temptation-filled power to teleport anywhere on earth in an instant.

For Doug Liman, whose deft passion for character-driven, unpredictably high-wire action has come to the fore in two of the most popular and acclaimed thrillers of recent times. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Identity – the potential for Jumper was irresistible. It was a chance to put his own hyper-modern twist on a now venerable genre of storytelling.

“Most of the stories we see about superheroes were actually written a century ago,” Liman points out. “But what I loved about Jumper is that it felt very fresh and modern. Ultimately, it became the biggest creative challenge of my career.”

The evolution of the story began with a duo of young-adult sci-fi novels by Steven Gould – Jumper and Reflex – which introduced the character of David Rice, a troubled young man whose seemingly inexplicable teleportation abilities help him to star a dream-like new life far from the pain of his past. After debuting to high praise from both critics and readers, Gould’s series quickly developed a strong following; but it was clear the story had the potential to go even further. When executive producers Vince Gerardis and Ralph M. Vicinanza encountered the books they knew immediately they had the material for a great cinematic adventure.

This film is rated PG-13.
