In this thriller from director Alex Proyas (DARK CITY; I, ROBOT), a drawing in an unearthed time capsule from 50 years ago has predicted cataclysmic events since its burial. Nicolas Cage stars as a man who discovers the drawing and tries to figure out what is happening as the final date on the drawing approaches, and with it, comes the apocalypse.

Review 1:
"[A] moody and sometimes ideologically provocative film....Director Alex Proyas has long been drawn to otherness. He's definitely mucking around in that and more here, with KNOWING his most overtly allegorical film yet."

Review 2:
4 stars out of 4 -- "[F]rightening, suspenseful, intelligent and, when it needs to be, rather awesome....With expert and confident storytelling, Proyas strings together events that keep tension at a high pitch all through the film."

Review 3:
"[KNOWING] has more on its mind than the run-of-the-mill effects-driven extravaganza. Absorbing....Canterbury and Robinson are rock-solid as the two crucial kids."
