Michael Pare plays David Herdeg, a sailor on the U.S.S. Naval destroyer Eldridge in the year 1943 which is involved with a top secret invisibility experiment in Philadelphia that goes wrong, with the unexpected result of sending him and another sailor forward in time 41 years, where they find themselves shocked by the technological and cultural differences that exist. After a visit to a diner doesn't go well, they find themselves on the run with the help of a young woman(played by Nancy Allen). Government forces catch up with them, and after the other sailor is spontaneously transferred back to the Eldridge, David is enlisted to undertake a dangerous mission to be sent back in time there as well, in order to stop the experiment that is still continuing on its own, causing havoc...
Good-natured film has appealing performances and an interesting storyline, though is hurt by becoming a standard chase picture for some of its length. Still, much imagination on display here anyway, and a most satisfying ending make it worthwhile.
