The director of the acclaimed 'Moon' (2009), Duncan Jones, helms
this sci-fi action thriller starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Soldier
Colter Stevens (Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man
and discovers that he is part of a government mission to identify
the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. The experiment, known as
the 'Source Code', enables its subjects to take on a person's
identity for the last eight minutes of their lives. Colter has been
programmed to relive the incident over and over again, piecing
together clues until he can figure out who the suspect is and
prevent another large-scale terrorist attack. Michelle Monaghan,
Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright co-star.
