It’s 1939 and test pilot Daniel McCormick (Mel Gibson) has the world by the tail. He has a terrific job flying B-25s, a devoted soul mate (Isabel Glasser) and a long time pal and confidant (George Wendt). In fact, he has everything. Almost. Despite his ability to confront danger, he can’t look his girlfriend in the face and propose. He always decides to wait till tomorrow to pop the question, but in one terrible instant he runs out of tomorrows. Tragedy takes his sweetheart away. Unwilling to face life alone, Daniel volunteers for a top-secret cryogenics experiment. He reawakens in 1992, lost and out of step. But through a friendship with a fatherless boy (Elijah Wood) and the boy’s mother (Jamie Lee Curtis), Daniel learns that time waits for no man. But true love waits forever.
