Jumper

David Rice a 15-year-old student in Ann Arbor, Michigan, lives with his alcoholic father, William, since his mother, Mary, left when he was five. After falling into a frozen river while recovering a snow globe for Millie, a girl he likes, David discovers he has the ability to "jump", after teleporting to a library. He decides to leave his father and with the ability to teleport anywhere, he moves to New York where he uses his power to rob banks and casinos.

Eight years later, David lives a luxurious life from his penthouse apartment, its walls covered with pictures of places around the world which he "jumps" to on a daily basis. However, a lead from his first bank robbery has directed Roland Cox to David, who knows of his ability and has the technology to disable him, using electrified restraints. However, as Roland believes someone is protecting David, he hesitates in killing him, and David escapes.

David returns to Ann Arbor and seeks out Millie. But his high school nemesis Mark recognizes him and he and David get into a fight. Once out of sight of the onlookers, David teleports Mark to the bank vault in New York City, and returns. He invites Millie to join him on a trip to Rome, which she accepts. The two arrive in the city and start sightseeing. David uses his abilities to gain them access to the closed Colosseum, but runs into another Jumper, Griffin, who has been watching David for some time. Griffin explains that his flagrant jumping has attracted attention, and two of Roland's associates appear. The ensuing battle displays both Griffin's Jumping talent and the hunters' ability to sense Jumps, but Griffin is victorious, welcoming David to "the war" with a short explanation. Roland is the leader of the "Paladins", a secret society dedicated to killing Jumpers. Griffin has been fighting them for much of his life.

David is caught by the police and arrested. David's mother shortly arrives and helps David get free, telling him he has little time, but does not give David any time to ask questions. David goes to find Millie, who is highly suspicious of David's behavior, but he does not reveal his jumping ability, and puts her aboard a plane back home while he goes to Griffin for further investigation. At Griffin's desert lair, Griffin explains to David about the Paladins, and tells him how he has been on a personal mission to kill them after they killed his parents. Griffin then tells David to leave him alone. Griffin then makes a series of 'jumps' with David following him. Griffin decides to work with David, he steals a car and 'jumps' it through the glass window of the shop. He and David then ride along in the speeding car 'jumping' the car to avoid crashing. He also 'jumps' the car approximately 70ft into the air for fun.

David, realizing that the Paladins will go after his father and Millie in order to get to him, quickly jumps back to Ann Arbor to find his father mortally wounded;'jumps' his father to a hospital; Roland had used the appearance of Mark in the bank vault to trace David to Ann Arbor. David jumps to Millie's apartment to find that Roland and his team are just arriving. Before Roland can react, David grabs Millie and returns the two of them to Griffin's lair.

Griffin, who has been arming himself to fight Roland, is furious with David, because the Paladins have a device that permits them to reopen and traverse the short-lived "jump scar" wake left by a Jumper's teleportation—David has just led Roland right to Griffin's lair. A battle ensues between the Jumpers and Paladins, but Griffin is able to drive the Paladins back to Millie's apartment with a flame thrower, though they grab Millie through the scar before it closes. Griffin plans to teleport a bomb to the apartment, but David tries to stop him to save Millie; the two begin a world-spanning fight, but David eventually traps Griffin in a downed pylon in the middle of a firefight in Chechnya, leaving Griffin's fate unknown.

David jumps to Millie's apartment and is quickly caught by the Paladins. Risking his life, David manages to teleport a section of the apartment to a nearby river, including Millie and Roland, shorting out the Paladin's electrical equipment, but falls unconscious in the process. However, they are then teleported by undisclosed means to the library where David made his first jump. David recovers first, grabs Roland and teleports him to a cave high above the Grand Canyon. Sometime later, David and Millie travel to Mary's home, and David learns that he has a sister but her name is not mentioned and confirms that Mary is, in fact, a Paladin. She left to avoid having to kill her own son when David was five when he made his first (initially unremembered) jump. She claims it was a necessity, says she loves him gives him a "head start" before she must hunt him down. David and Millie then jump to an unknown warmer location.
