Movie Synopsis :
Computer
security specialist Jack Stanfield (Harrison Ford)
works for the Seattle-based Landrock Pacific Bank. A
trusted top-ranking executive, he has built his
career and reputation on designing the most
effective anti-theft computer systems in the
industry, protecting the bank's financial holdings
from the constant threat of increasingly
sophisticated internet hackers with his complex
network of tracers, access codes and firewalls.
Jack's position affords a comfortable life for him,
his architect wife Beth (Virginia Madsen) and their
two young children - a standard of living that
includes a beautiful home in a residential community
just outside the city.
But there's a vulnerability in Jack's system that he
has not accounted for: himself. It's a vulnerability
that one very ruthless and resourceful thief is
poised to exploit.
Bill Cox (Paul Bettany) has been studying Jack and
his family for many months; monitoring their online
activity, listening to their calls and learning
their daily routines with an arsenal of digital and
video recorders and parabolic microphones that tap
into the most personal of information. He knows the
names of their children's friends, their medical
histories, and the I.D. code for the security
station that guards their neighborhood.
Having spent the better part of a year methodically
infiltrating every aspect of Jack's identity, Cox is
now ready to make good on his investment.
Leading a tight team of mercenary accomplices, he
seizes control of the Stanfield house, making Beth
and the kids terrified hostages in their own home
and Jack his unwilling pawn in a scheme to steal
$100 million from the Landrock Pacific Bank.
With every possible escape route shrewdly
anticipated and blocked by Cox, every potential ally
out of reach and the lives of his wife and children
at stake, Jack is forced to find a breach in his own
formidable security system to siphon funds into his
captor's offshore account - incriminating himself in
the process and eradicating any electronic evidence
that Cox ever existed.
Under constant surveillance, he has only hours to
accomplish the risky transactions while desperately
hunting for a loophole in the thief's own
impenetrable wall of subterfuge and false identities
to save his family and beat Cox at his own game.
