In 2009, William Dawes Elementary School celebrated its anniversary once again, and the time capsule that had been buried for 50 years was rediscovered. The little boy Keller (Chandler Canterbury) gets Lucinda's letter, the whole page is full of random numbers on the drawing paper, which allows Keller's father, John (Nicolas Cage), who teaches astrophysics at MIT. Intrigued, he stumbled upon 911012996 in it, representing the 2,996 lost lives on 9/11/01 commemorating the day. Frightened, he continued his research and found that the numbers were all accurate predictions of the dates of various major global disasters, the death toll, and GPS latitude and longitude coordinates. The last three sets of digital dates have not yet happened. John wanted to stop but was powerless. He witnessed the crash of the plane and the derailment of the subway rushing to the platform. In order to decipher the meaning of the last EE in the last set of numbers, John found Lucinda's daughter Diana and learned that Lucinda had passed away a few years ago. In the hut where Lucinda lived alone, John found that on the back of the bed was written EE for Everyone Else, that is, everyone. In a painting that Lucinda used to see in the cabin, Diana's daughter Abby said that one of them was the sun. The blood on the door of the closet in the basement of William Dawes Elementary School is the GPS latitude and longitude coordinates of the last disaster. It turns out that the final catastrophe is the super solar sun flame, which will kill every life on earth.
And since Keller got Lucinda's letter, there has always been a group of men in black watching over them from a distance, and only Tyler could hear what the men in black were whispering in his head. Abby could hear the whisperers too. It turned out that these Whisperers had the ability to predict, and they had told her about Lucinda's numbers before. The Whisperers left Earth for refuge with people and animals who could hear their voices, and John came to his parents' house to embrace his parents and sister to welcome the end of the world. The destruction of the earth, Tyler and Abby each carried a rabbit to a new planet to live.
"Only those who can hear the call can leave the earth with them and take refuge."
The revelation of the suspense mystery turned the film from a suspense thriller into a sci-fi disaster film with religious overtones. These whisperers who can transmit voices into secrets and shoot light in their mouths are said to be aliens, and more said to be angels of God. The spaceship they ride is a "sacred artifact", and the two children are Adam and Eve. Towards the tree of life in the Garden of Eden. The most important thing is that in the hut where Lucinda lived alone, there was a Bible on the bedside table.
There are many elements in the film, but there are not many highlights, and it feels average.
