A film based on a WWII legend. Think Roswell, but, slightly more likely...I guess.
Two sailors are on board the USS Eldridge, they are taking part in an experiment to render the ship invisible to radar. Sadly things go squiffy, the lads jump ship and oddly land in the Nevada dessert. Turns out the experiment created a kind of time vortex, thing. Now the guys are stuck in 1984. That's bad, I remember 1984...pretty dull.
This is another of those oddly alluring films. It touches on patriotism, sci-fi, love and comradeship. The fact that it has this legend attached to it only makes this film that much more fascinating. Try this link for a laugh-
Budget: $?
Gross: $8,103,330

Fun Fact: The sequel (which I was rather excited to see at the time-1993) sees a new cast, but this time battling time traveling Nazi's and a Stealth Bomber...good concept, bad film. Co-starring Nancy Allen (RoboCop).
