Jumper is a 2008 American science fiction action film directed by Doug Liman, based on Steven Gould's 1992 novel. Hayden Christensen stars as David Rice, a young man who discovers he has the ability to teleport anywhere in the world instantaneously. Using his power to live a life of luxury — teleporting to exotic locations, robbing bank vaults, and surfing on the Sphinx — David is hunted by the Paladins, a secretive religious organization that has been killing "Jumpers" for centuries, led by Roland Cox, a fanatical enforcer played by Samuel L.

Jackson with distinctive white hair. Doug Liman's concept was visually inventive — the teleportation effects, which left visible "jump scars" in the air, and the combat sequences where Jumpers and Paladins fought across multiple continents simultaneously were the film's most entertaining elements. Jamie Bell appeared as Griffin, a fellow Jumper whose guerrilla war against the Paladins added complexity.

Jumper earned $222 million worldwide on a $85 million budget.
