Sinopsis(1)
Art Jeffries, un renegado agente del FBI, combate a despiadados agentes federales para proteger a Simon, un niño autista de nueve años, que ha descifrado el nuevo código "indescifrable" del gobierno. Simon puede leer MERCURY, el avanzado código encriptado, sin ningún tipo de dificultad. Esta destreza convierte en vulnerable al nuevo código secreto, valorado en un billón de dólares, especialmente si los enemigos de los Estados Unidos descubren las habilidades de Simon y lo secuestran. El jefe del programa, Nick Kudrow, ordena que se elimine a la "amenaza para la seguridad", pero éste no había contado con que Jeffries se involucrara en el asunto. Cuando unos despiadados asesinos les siguen la pista, Jeffries se da cuenta rápidamente que no puede confiar en nadie y por eso tienen que salir corriendo. Jeffries descubre que la única esperanza de sobrevivir es usar la especial habilidad de Simon para llevar a sus adversarios ante la justicia. (Universal Pictures España)

Reseñas (1)
From the period when Bruce Willis tried working with children (obviously referring to them as his film partners), Mercury Rising is undoubtedly the weakest. What makes it bad is not even that it’s poorly made, but rather the fact that it has nothing to offer. The hackneyed script follows the tried-and-true formula, which is all about allowing the main character to stand out, whose nature the creators could have explored more, as Bruce Willis' acting abilities can certainly handle more than just a self-conscious FBI agent with an inferior job. And having only two people representing the "bad guys" is probably not the right thing to do either, especially upon closer inspection of Alec Baldwin, who doesn't fit his role at all. And the little autistic kid? A completely unused character who serves only as an excuse for his protector to get angry and give the bad guys a good beating every now and then. Whatever way I look at it, I can't think of anything that would make me want to see Mercury Rising again. As I said at the beginning, this film has nothing to offer.
