So the boy loses himself in video games--and even has an imaginary friend, a super-resourceful secret agent. When he accidentally comes into possession of a spy group's secret plans, and winds up on the run from them, he must learn to rely on himself and his imaginary pal to save his skin. But, in the end, Dad proves to be his real hero.

Jack Flack

is make-believe,

just like all these

ridiculous games.

They don't make it

any easier for you

to get a grasp

on things.

Want to see something?

See proof?

Let me show you.

This is what

the FBI man gave me.

Hey, come here.

There's something

coming on.

More Cloak and Dagger?

What did I just get

through telling you...

Dad,

this is important.

Just wait a minute.

You'll see.

Oh, Davey...

Just give me

a chance.

A man was just

killed for this.

Do you want me

to play it once?

All right, play it.

Play it one time.

See, that's Dr. Boom

and that's Jack Flack

going to the secret

underground bomb factory.

Have you seen this

or done this before?

Yeah. I played it

at Morris'.

Now, here we are.

Get the guards.

Got one!

Ok, get the case...

I'd like to figure

this one out.

And I made it.

And where's the proof

you're talking about?

I don't know.

Maybe it's on

the next level.

Now let's shut it off,

all right? Come on.

But I get another life.

Let's just shut it

off. That's enough...

Dad!

I want you to

get ready for bed.

Can I just play

one more?

Davey, I said no

and I mean no.

Now,

get ready for bed.

I hate you.

I know you don't

mean that, son.

You don't

care about me.

Huh! You never

believe me.

Davey,

when I was a kid,

I was exactly

like you are.

I wanted to be a hero.

That's why

I joined the Air Force.

So I could

be somebody.

Let me tell you

something, Davey.

Heroes don't

just shoot bad guys,

they...they put

supper on the table,

they fix bicycles,

they do boring things...

real things,

not make believe.

I hope

you'll understand that

when you get

a little bit older.

Now, I'm going to

put these games away.

I don't want you

playing 'em anymore.

Dad, if you'd just play

one with me sometime.

Good night, Davey.

Not too smart for

a military man, huh?

Shut up.

Unh!

Will you get that

for me, Davey?

Hello?

Is this

David G. Osborne?

Yes.

Good.

Dad!

Yeah?

It's them!

It's the spies.

The ones

who killed the man!

Hurry!

Hello.

They hung up.

What'd he say?

Just asked

who I was.

Dad, they know

where I am.

Ah, it's just a wrong number.

Come on, let's...

No, it wasn't!

I know

it was them.

Come on, come on,

take it easy.

Just go on to bed.

It's way past your bedtime.

Can I sleep

in your bed tonight?

What?

Can I sleep in

your bed tonight?

What for?

Well, I don't think

those, uh,

guys will come in

when you're here.

You don't, eh?

Ok, come on.

Everything's

going to be ok, son.

Dad!

What is it, son?

Don't leave.

Well, I've got

to go to work, son.

I don't have

any choice.

Well, they're just

waiting for you to leave

so they can get me.
