|---|
This movie fuels the fear about computer hackers stealing your identity. Tim Matheson plays a college professor, Jordan Cooper, who has written a book. He seems to having everything and his life is good, until Dean Stockwell comes in. He alters Cooper's medical records so that it appears he is a mental case. Cooper is checked into a psychiatric hospital where he claims he has been framed. They all say that don't they? Cooper is forced to escape. From there he is on the run because now Stockwell has framed him for a murder. With the aid of his wife and others he is able to deduct who it is that might be after him and why. It involves doing computer searches of old newspapers and similar cases to find similar cases. Cooper soon knows he'll have to set up a dangerous liaison in order to capture his stalker.
