Plot Summary

11-year-old Davey, whose mother is dead and whose father doesn't spend nearly enough time with him. 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. Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia The video game which is central to the movie had already been in development as production of the film began (the game then named "Agent X"); when Atari was consulted to provide a game as an element of the movie, they tweaked "Agent X" and renamed it Cloak & Dagger (1983). Dabney Coleman's character was then renamed "Agent X" in the movie. The game saw limited arcade release. See more »
Goofs When Jack Flack tells Davey to switch the games, he throws him a factory sealed game-box. Yet at the exchange scene when Rice picks it up and looks at it, the game has a sticker on the back indicating the name of store Davey got it from. Considering it was factory sealed that sticker shouldn't have been there. See more »
