1962. Calvin Webber (Christopher Walken) is a brilliant scientist who has built a self-sufficient bunker in his suburban home. When a plane crashes nearby he mistakes the roar for a nuclear attack and flees to the bunker with his pregnant wife (Sissy Spacek). Their son Adam (Brendan Fraser) is born in the time-locked bunker and spends the first thirty-five years of his life oblivious to the progress of time outside his shelter. When he is finally released he bumps straight into Eve (Alicia Silverstone), a young but already cynical inhabitant of 1990s L.A. Having had a string of no-hoper boyfriends, dead-end jobs and broken dreams, Eve is pleasantly surprised by Adam's wide-eyed naiveity and the couple find themselves falling in love.

Most helpful review Blast From The Past

Watched it twice

By skeadugenga (148 reviews) from Reading , 28 Oct 2005

[Highly rated reviewer]

Was only going to give this 4 stars (there are few perfect films around), but thinking back I started grinning again and thought it deserved a strong recommendation - especially for the performances of Sissy Spacek and Christopher Walken as the parents. All my family enjoyed this film, and I watched it twice. Particularly funny if you remember the 60s, but the love story between the younger cast will keep the late teens watching as well. It flags a bit in places, but overall a good comedy and I loved the ending - watch Walken in the last scene, he doesn't need dialogue to get over what he intends to do next...

Brendan does it again!

By a customer , 17 Aug 2011

Brendan was well cast in this wacky film about a man who was raised in a bunker and knew nothing of the outside world. Alicia was good as his love interest. Brendan portrayed his innocence well and it was a fun film.

Brilliant, very funny, believable situation. Dance sequence in the nightclub absolutely fantastic. Watch it for that alone. Great acting. Patient, bored Mum is so funny.
