Plot Summary
Davey Osborne is an imaginative youngster who loves role-playing games, and who often enlists the aid of his best friend, an imaginary super-spy named Jack Flack. One day he witnesses a real murder of an FBI agent who passes a videogame called "Cloak & Dagger" to him before he dies. When the police come, the body is gone, and no one will believe him, including his father, Col. Hal Osborne. Soon Davey finds himself up to his neck in hairbreadth escapes, real bullets, and slam-bang action as the hitmen close in. Can Jack save him before time runs out? Cloak & Dagger stars Henry Thomas of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Dabney Coleman in a dual role of Jack and Davey's father, and Michael Murphy.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The last thing we need right now is another movie about a boy caught up in the world of computer games - but ''Cloak and Dagger,'' while fitting that mold, is clever and enjoyable anyhow.
Fresh: Cloak and Dagger is fun for adults as well as older kids, thanks to the imaginative writing (by Tom Holland) and direction (by Richard Franklin).

Blast from the Past
OMG. I used to love this movie growing up partly because it was filmed in my hometown and takes place in it! but as well as the whole premise behind the movie. Definitely a good movie to watch for those of us early 80s kids and most especially if you are fond of video games the pre-nintendo era. :)
CRAZY GOOD GAMER MOVIE! (we play it all the time)

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! Thank You iTunes for releasing it!
I grew up watching this movie. It's near and dear to me for many different reasons. I'm still a gamer to this day and enjoy how the storyline is woven around the game. If you haven't checked it out, and you're a fan of 80's movies, it's well worth the purchase!
