Flight of the Navigator follows David, a regular kid who likes baseball and lives in 1978, until a spaceship abducts him and not realizing that a gap of a few years might be an issue, drop him off a tad late...1986. Police take still young David to his parents house, parents that have aged a bit. Noticing the oddity, the government and NASA borrow David and take him to a research facility. As luck would have it, the spacecraft that dropped David off, got a little tangled in some power lines, short circuited and is in a hanger, pretty much next door to David.
David starts to hear something (telepathically) and wanders off for a look. Turns out, the ship needs a pilot following that electrical mishap and David's the 'man' for the job. In the tradition of many Sci-fi's, there's a cute alien friend for the lonely kid...looks a bit like a gecko with even bigger eyes and a smile.
As of 2009, a remake is in the offing.
