00:00A massive solar flare is about to erupt from the sun in 2027.
00:04The flare's microwave radiation will instantly destroy the ozone layer.
00:08Every living thing on Earth will be wiped out.
00:11So he decides to take his children deep underground.
00:14Perhaps this is the only way they can survive the catastrophe.
00:17Just as they finish packing up and prepare to leave, Cage notices something strange about his son.
00:24Caleb, stop!
00:27Caleb!
00:30What were you doing?
00:33Did I do that?
00:36Cage stares at the numbers on the table.
00:38Then he begins investigating the secret hidden behind the door panel.
00:42You're not making any sense.
00:44Look at you.
00:45Look at what you're doing.
00:46The numbers are the key to everything.
00:48Please, please don't.
00:50We need to leave.
00:51Seeing that Cage refuses to do anything, Anna turns and runs.
00:55She decides to leave with the children without him.
00:58By the time Cage finally scrapes out the numbers and uses the coordinates to pinpoint the location,
01:04he discovers that Anna has already taken his children and left.
01:08Meanwhile, Anna has already driven to a gas station.
01:11Just as she's paying, an emergency news report suddenly comes on the TV.
01:16World leaders urge everyone to stock up on supplies and stay underground as much as possible.
01:21Just then, the little boy gets out of the car and calls his father Cage.
01:26When Anna comes back out, she immediately takes the phone.
01:30Cage quickly tells her to wait for him because he's on his way.
01:33Do you want us to head toward the place where this is supposed to happen?
01:36Are you insane?
01:37It's a chance we gotta take or we're all gonna die.
01:39Stay where you are.
01:40I'll be right there.
01:41No, if we go to the caves, we have a chance.
01:43You said the sun can't reach that far.
01:46The caves won't save us.
01:48Nothing can.
01:49The radiation will pack straight a mile to the Earth's cross.
01:52Do you hear me?
01:53Our only shot is to go where the numbers want us to go.
01:56It's what we're meant to do.
02:03Anna sees someone driving away with her child in the car.
02:07She quickly jumps into another car and chases after them.
02:10But while she's chasing them, a heavy truck suddenly appears and sends her flying.
02:23And just like that, Anna dies as foretold by her mother's prophecy.
02:28Cage soon arrives at the gas station as well.
02:31After asking the store owner where Anna went, he learns which direction she headed and quickly
02:36drives off.
02:37But all he finds is Anna's lifeless body.
02:39Cage has no time to grieve.
02:41He has to keep going after his children.
02:44But to his surprise, their final destination turns out to be Lucinda's cabin.
02:48There he sees the mysterious figures standing before him.
02:52Cage immediately shouts at them, demanding to know where his children are.
02:56The little boy suddenly runs out.
02:58Then even more mysterious figures appear.
03:00The boy explains that these people mean no harm.
03:03They're here to help him.
03:05Suddenly, a glowing object appears in the sky.
03:07A massive spacecraft emerges before everyone's eyes.
03:11Cage is completely stunned.
03:13It seems these mysterious figures aren't from Earth.
03:16They must be extraterrestrials from a far more advanced civilization.
03:20After the spacecraft lands, the boy grabs Cage's hand, hoping they can leave together.
03:25But one of the mysterious figures reaches out and stops him.
03:29Clearly, only the two children they've chosen are allowed to leave.
03:33Cage realizes this too.
03:34He begins giving his son some final words of advice.
03:39You have to take care of Abby now.
03:42You have to be strong for her.
03:45We're gonna be together.
03:47We're all gonna be together.
03:49And mom's gonna be with us too.
03:50The father and son share their final goodbye.
03:53The boy walks toward the mysterious figures.
03:55The figures then reveal their true appearances.
03:58As the spacecraft slowly closes, it quickly ascends into outer space.
04:03And numerous other spacecraft take off alongside it.
04:06It seems these two children aren't the only ones who were chosen.
04:10Who knows what kind of life awaits these chosen seeds of Earth once they leave their home planet.
04:19By now, the town has descended into complete chaos.
04:23With the end of the world fast approaching, what will become of humanity?
04:27But Cage, having already said goodbye to his son, now wants nothing more than to spend his remaining time with
04:34his parents.
04:35He hasn't seen his family in far too long.
04:37No one has much to say.
04:39They simply hold each other in a tight embrace.
04:42And with that, the film comes to an end.
04:53This is a science fiction mystery film released in 2009.
04:57Although Nicolas Cage doesn't have his usual mysterious aura in this film, I still believe it's a truly underrated gem.
05:04Earth's civilization is ultimately destroyed at the end of the film.
05:08Yet countless seeds of humanity are given a chance to carry on.
05:12When science and faith come into conflict, what should people choose to believe in?
05:16If one day, something like predicting the future really happened, would we, as ordinary people, be able to accept it?
