Synopsis

An autistic 9-year-old boy (Miko Hughes, in an amazing performance) cracks the U.S. government’s top-secret code when an unapproved test matrix gets published in a crossword magazine. Naturally, the National Security Agency can’t allow anyone to have the key to the code, and unctuous villain Alec Baldwin is willing to end the boy’s life to protect the nation. Can demoted FBI Agent Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis) save the day?

Biography

After studying art and photography at the Pratt Institute, Becker began his career as a still photographer, but later tried his hand at directing television commercials, short films and documentaries. Becker made his film debut in 1972 when he directed The Ragman’s Daughter along with Souter Harris. After this film, he went on to other films, including thrillers where ordinary people are caught up in danger and the unexpected. Of these, the one he is applauded for is his 1979 true story film, The Onion Field.

Becker won the Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival Gold Prize for his short film Ivanhoe Donaldson. —Wikipedia
