David Freeman is eight years late for dinner, and his family wants to know why. But David's got an absolutely fantastic excuse.

Flight of the Navigator (1986) charts the peculiar case of David, a 12-year-old boy who inexplicably wakes up eight years older after a brief coma in the woods. His family’s joy and confusion mirror his own bewilderment as he grapples with an unaged body and a mind full of enigmatic dreams. A NASA scientist’s discovery of an alien spacecraft nearby provides the catalyst for David to confront the inexplicable, piecing together the cosmic puzzle that has upended his life.
