Synopsis: New York City, not-too-distant-future: Eric Packer, a 28 year-old
finance golden boy dreaming of living in a civilization ahead of this
one, watches a dark shadow cast over the firmament of the Wall Street
galaxy, of which he is the uncontested king. As he is chauffeured across
midtown Manhattan to get a haircut at his father's old barber, his
anxious eyes are glued to the yuan's exchange rate: it is mounting
against all expectations, destroying Eric's bet against it. Eric Packer
is losing his
empire with every tick of
the clock. Meanwhile, an eruption of wild activity unfolds in the
city's streets. Petrified as the threats of the real world infringe upon
his cloud of virtual convictions, his paranoia intensifies during the
course of his 24-hour cross-town odyssey. Packer starts to piece
together clues that lead him to a most terrifying secret: his imminent
assassination. -- (Written by IMDb Editors)
