Cloak & Dagger (1984)



Starring Dabney Coleman, Henry Thomas, Michael Murphy, John McIntire, Jeanette Nolan, William Peterson, and Tim Rossovitch. Directed by Richard Franklin. Given to telling whoppers, a young boy finds himself in a boy-who-cried-wolf dilemma when he overhears two spies plotting to smuggle valuable info out of the country. When he can't get his own father to believe him, he turns to a computer game called "Cloak and Dagger" and begins to fantasize, imagining that he is in cahoots with secret agent Jack Flack. Finally coming to grips with the fact that the mythical Jack Flack cannot help him this time, the boy takes on the spies with the help of his schoolmates, who are also "Cloak and Dagger" addicts.
