ActionAdventureDramaRomanceSci-FiThriller102 min

When a secret Navy test aboard the USS Eldridge goes wrong in 1943, two sailors are hurled four decades ahead into 1984. Michael Paré is David Herdeg, trying to make sense of a world far beyond wartime America, with Bobby Di Cicco’s Jim Parker stranded beside him. Built around the Philadelphia Experiment legend, the film follows the pair through a disorienting jump from the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard to modern highways, laboratories, and military pursuit, as they piece together what the experiment did to their ship and to them.
