Plot |
A convicted hacker (Jackman) is recruited by a rogue US agent (Travolta) to break into a bank to steel money that's been sitting there for years so that he can fight terrorism his way. Jackman does it so he can get custody of his child. It involves the CIA, FBI, DEA and US Government. Yes, it's convoluted.
