Jumpin' Jack Flash

ComedyRomanceThriller105 min

A bank employee’s routine computer messages take a sharp turn when Terry decodes a stranger’s plea for help and finds herself tangled in an espionage mess. Whoopi Goldberg is Terry, trying to make sense of cryptic exchanges with “Jack Flash” while dodging the people who want him silenced. As the messages pull her further in, office work gives way to hidden identities, dead drops, and a chase that keeps shifting from screwball mishap to spy trouble. Stephen Collins and John Wood figure into the increasingly crowded web around her as Terry scrambles to stay ahead of both the code and the people behind it.
