Like most films that studios are desperate to get you to spend your hard earned money on, Jumper has a really cool and excellent looking trailer. Sadly like almost all trailers the film it advertised is not only nothing like it, it's utter garbage. In the trailer you'll see shots of jumping all over the world, this will also happen in the movie in a very badly created context.
Take a young guy who after a conflict with the school bully falls through ice and is about to die. Then just before The Grim Reaper gets him he finds himself in the local library. After a conflict with his deadbeat dad he leaves home and starts using his ability to rob banks to allow himself to live in New York. Obviously quite a bit of time passes as he grows to his twenties (that's my guess anyway).
After going back home to find his old sweetheart, he also discovers there are others like him and people trying to kill them. He meets a fellow jumper (Jamie Bell) who he learns more about the history of jumpers from. Obviously he and Bell team up initially but fall out once he involves his old girlfriend as he has to save her from the bad guys lead by Samuel L Jackson. It's a weak film and having Samuel L Jackson and Hayden Christensen doesn't really save it from the god awful plot and lack of both script and character development
