Ben and Rob step back into the summer of 1986 with Flight of the Navigator, a film that has spent forty years being wildly underestimated. Warm, strange, and quietly melancholy beneath its adventure film surface, it tells the story of a boy who falls into a ravine and wakes up in a world that moved on without him… but is it the misunderstood masterpiece its most devoted fans insist it is? Or has our affection for it quietly outgrown the film itself?

The boys dig into the extraordinary story of how Flight of the Navigator came to exist at all; the bankrupt production companies, the directors who almost made something far darker, and the unlikely chain of events that led to one of the most influential films in cinema history changing CGI forever.

Somewhere along the way, the theories start to surface. Why are THOSE toys in David's NASA room? Did Max accidentally become conscious somewhere over Florida and did everyone simply fail to notice? And when David chooses to go back to 1978 at the end of the film, is he really choosing his family?

And finally...

What does it really mean?
