Source Code is a sci-fi thriller that stars Jake Gyllenhaal as an Army Captain named Colter Stevens who finds himself stuck in an eight-minute simulated time loop where a train explodes at the end of the timer. Disoriented and waking up in a capsule every time the simulation resets, Colter learns that the explosion was real. He is sent into the scenario repeatedly to discover the truth behind the bombing - but the truth behind the experiment may be even darker than he was prepared for.
It was also a poor choice for Jake Gyllenhaal’s career.
It also has a star-studded cast including Drew Barrymore, Patrick Swayze, and even a young Seth Rogen.
It has a solid 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.
