Synopsis

Jack (1996) is a family comedy-drama directed by Francis Ford Coppola that you can watch online on iFILM. Robin Williams plays a ten-year-old boy with a rare condition that makes his body age four times faster than normal — so he walks into fifth grade looking like a man in his forties.

He has spent his whole childhood at home, taught by a private tutor (Bill Cosby) and shielded by his mother (Diane Lane). His first day of public school is chaos, naturally. But kids adapt faster than adults, and what starts as horror slowly turns into friendship — especially once classmates realize a forty-year-old body has certain advantages. Jennifer Lopez plays his patient teacher, Miss Margarita. The film, surprisingly personal for Coppola, wraps awkwardness and laughter around something genuinely tender about time, childhood, and how fast it slips away. Stream Jack (1996) online on iFILM.
