Blast from the Past
She'd never met anyone like him. He's never met anyone... Period.
Directed by Hugh Wilson
Produced by Midnight Sun Pictures, New Line Cinema
A lighthearted romantic comedy about a man raised in isolation meeting the modern world and finding love, built on fish-out-of-water charm and genuine warmth.
Following a bomb scare in the 1960s that locked the Webbers into their bomb shelter for 35 years, Adam now ventures forth into Los Angeles to obtain food and supplies for his family, and a non-mutant wife for himself.
