Flight Of The Navigator

Joey Cramer stars as twelve year old David Freeman in this fantasy movie, aimed squarely at the family market. David is a typical fun-lovin' all-American kid, out playing in the woods with his younger brother Jeff.

One day, when they are going home to prepare for an outing on the lake that night, David is startled by a train and falls into a ravine, knocking himself out.

When he wakes, it's dark, so he runs home, not wanting to be late for the trip. But when he gets there, his parents have moved, everything has changed - it's eight years later. Unsurprisingly, David passes out once more.

He wakes in hospital, and there are his family, who want to know one thing - where has he been? David has no memory of the missing years and so some NASA guys arrive to try and piece together what had happened. Or at least that's their story. The truth is that they have found this silver spacecraft that crashed into some electricity cables and they are looking into any strange events that might explain more about the craft, where it is from, and most importantly, how to get inside and learn its secrets.

After finding loads of star maps and stuff inside David's subconscious mind, David escapes (with the help of his new friend Carolyn, played by Sarah Jessica Parker) and he manages to get to the craft, which opens a door and lets him in.

It turns out that David was taken by the craft eight years before for study and something went wrong when it tried to return him to the time he was taken. Now the craft (controlled by a computer called Max) says that David is the Navigator and only he can help get things back to normal.

They fly off, visiting much of the world, and allowing Max to learn more of the culture around him. But they always stay just one step ahead of the NASA people, who want their prizes back...
