In 1939, the longtime girlfriend of a daredevil Army Air Corps test pilot is in an accident that renders her comatose. Grief-stricken, he volunteers to be frozen alive for a year in a cryogenics experiment, in the hopes that she will have recovered by the time he is ready to be thawed out.

As the pilot attempts to cope with all the technological and cultural developments that have occurred during his sleep, he hurriedly tries to find the scientist who froze him and the woman he left behind.

Industry Reviews
"...Gibson is good enough to give the film substance....Curtis also is attractive as Claire..."
New York Times - p.C17 - Vincent Canby
"...Mel Gibson and Jamie Lee Curtis have some very sweet scenes together. Gibson in particular is good at finding the right balance of innocence and mischief for this material..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (12/16/1992)
