Member Rating:  
The year is 1978: 12-year-old David Freeman (Joey Cramer), playing in the woods near his home, is knocked unconscious. He awakens and heads home, only to find strangers living there. He also finds that the year is 1986, and that he's been officially missing for eight years. NASA officials determine that David was abducted by aliens during his blackout, and hope to scan the boy's brain in order to unlock a few secrets of the universe. Answering the call of a strange, unseen force, David boards a well-hidden spaceship and takes off, guided by the jocular voice of a computer named MAX (voiced by none other than Paul Reubens, aka Pee-Wee Herman). Realizing that he can't fit in to 1986 so long as he's a child of the '70s, David hopes to retrace the steps of his alien abductors and get back to his own time. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    While the movie is fantastic and the plot great, I was just not at all comfortable with the PG rating given the number of swear words used several times. My kids are young (8 and under) and we were really disappointed that a movie we loved as kids (edited for TV) was so family unfriendly. I have read there is a cleaned up version from Feature Films for Families and would suggest that!

    Great Movie, brought back memories of the past time phrase 'see ya later Alagater' Movie not seen much on TV, Blockbuster's wide selection should include movies like this.

    Great movie to watch over and over, you forget the little things in between viewings. My five year old adores this movie.
