Its plot follows a former CIA agent who uses a young teenager with psychic powers to help locate his missing telekinetic son, who has been abducted by an agent of a secret government agency. The screenplay by John Farris was based on his 1976 novel of the same name. Produced by Frank Yablans and released by 20th Century Fox on March 15, 1978, the film was both critically and commercially successful, grossing $24 million from a $7.5 million budget.
