Flight of the Navigator follows the story of David (Joey Cramer), a typical 12-year-old boy in the year 1978. After suffering a bit of a clumsy fall one night, David returns home to find the year is now 1986 and he has actually been missing for 8 years. However, although everyone is older, David hasn’t aged a day!
Once NASA gets wind of this, they immediately seek out David, believing there is some sort of connection between him and a flying saucer that has appeared around the same time as the young boys return.
A delightful Sci-Fi adventure for the whole family. This movie isn’t just a nostalgic gem but also a brilliant trip back to the ‘80s (complete with Sarah Jessica Parker) with a solid story and tremendous use of special effects. Not to mention, the entertaining comedic stylings of Paul Reubens as the Artificially Intelligent, Max, get involved.
