Product Description:
PHILADELPHIA, 1943: A TOP-SECRET EXPERIMENT IS UNDERWAY TO MAKE U.S. NAVY SHIPS INVISIBLE TO ENEMY RADAR, BUT SOMETHING GOES HORRIBLY WRONG, AND THE BATTLESHIP ELDRIDGE DISAPPEARS. TWO SAILORS JUMP OVERBOARD, AND ARE MYSTERIOUSLY TRANSPORTED 41 YREARS INTO THE FUTURE.
Amazon.com:
The Philadelphia Experiment takes as its jumping-off point an incident that is now paranormal legend, the U.S. Navy's supposed 1943 induction of an extremely powerful electromagnetic field around a destroyer in Philadelphia, causing its crew to become transparent, go insane, burst into flames, and so forth. The movie takes the tack that this was to render the ship invisible to radar, because of the war that was on. The test goes awry, however, and two of the crew leap forward in time to the filmmakers' present tense, 1984, where a similar experiment has caused a vortex that has trapped the 1943 ship and its crew along with a small Nevada town. The key to unbollixing this sad time-fracture lies in our heroes, the two time-travelling crew members, David Herdeg (Michael Paré) and Jim Parker (Bobby Di Cicco), whose electromagnetic instability keeps drawing them painfully back to the vortex to set things straight. This is silly stuff, but it's very fun silly stuff. One might cavil at gaps in plot logic, such as when Michael Paré seeks out the '80s version of his partner and finds more or less a trauma patient, while subsequent action contradicts this characterization. Still, there are plenty of still-worthy special effects, creating the requisite sense of awe and wonder. And for romantic interest, there's Nancy Allen's '80s girl paired with Michael Paré, affording plenty of amusing occasions for culture comparisons, most notably when Paré sees Ronald Reagan on TV, says, "Hey, I know that guy!" and refuses to believe he's president. --Jim Gay

as time travel travel movies goes this one's pretty decent.i've seen a
few in my time,many of them stinkers,and this is certainly no
stinker.it isn't necessarily the best of the genre,but it works for
what it is.it's fairly low key and sedate.the special effects range
from not bad to pretty good,especially for the time period during which
the movie was made.the acting was pretty decent as well,though also low
key,like the rest of the movie.the story is decent enough.the ... Read More

As implied in the name there is an experiment in Philadelphia (1943) to make a navel ship invisible to the enemy. The experiment goes beyond its parameters and sends the ship into the future. David Herdeg (Michael Paré) and Jim Parker (Bobby Di Cicco) jump ship in the process. What will become of them? Will this time travel affect others and can they get back?
If not will they adapt?
It cannot hurt to have a relationship with Nancy Allen you may not want to go back.

For what it's worth, this is a great movie. Special effects at the time werent exactly Transformers quality nor was the director a Micheal Bay....but if you can look beyond the rotoscoped hand illumination and the cut layout in the worm hole scenes, make popcorn and grab a soda, your in for a treat.
Story is good as well as the acting although none of the actors are mainstream (or still around). Based on "actual events", the Philadelphia Experiment takes you through the events that happened while the ... Read More
