Flight of the Navigator is a 1986 Disney science fiction motion picture.
Template:Spoiler David (Joey Cramer) is an average twelve year old american boy living in Miami Florida in 1978. One night his parents ask him to go retreive his younger brother from a freinds house on the other side of the woods behind his house. While in the woods he falls in a revine and becomes unconcious. He awakes and goes back to his house only to find that it is now inhabited by an elderly couple. The couple turns David over to the police who find an eight year old missing persons report on David. David's parents are found now living in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, eight years older. David quickly learns that the year is now 1986 and everything has change but him.
By this time a subplot has begun involving an alien spacecraft that has crashed into some power lines. NASA agents convince the police with little effor that the craft is theirs and take it back to their base.
Subsequently, David has been taken to a hospital to understand why he has not aged. The scientists have begun doing tests on his brain and find it to be full of a strange language. David is uncomfortable about the tests but is some how convince to allow them to take him to the same base as the strange ship and keep him for fourty eight hours to continue the tests. David is hooked up to a machine where upon further scans of his brain it is reveiled that is full of full of tons of alien data and star charts. His brain is able to answer the scientist questions, through use of their computer, completely involuntarily of David.
All this time the ship is calling to David, but he dosn't know who it is. He manages to escape his room and make his way to the ship. The ship opens up and lets him inside, no one else has been able to make the ship open. Once inside the ship, he meets its robot pilot, whom he nicknames Max (Paul Ruebans). Max, who calls David "The Navigator" informs David that his mission was to travel the galaxy collecting specimens and take them back to his home planet, Phaellon, for study. Then Max would return the specimens to their to the exact time and place they were taken from as if they never left. Max's creators had discovered that humans only use 10% of their brains. As an exsperiment, they abducted David and filled his brain with information. Max then returned David to Earth, but did not take him back to his proper time for fear that humas were to delicate for time travel. Max then while lookining at flowers, accidently crashed the ship into some powerlines accidently erasing his star charts and other data necessary for returning home. Max needs the information in Davids brain to complete his misson and return to Phaellon.
So, Max scans David's brain to extract the information. At this point, Max's personality changes and voice changes, and he becomes less robot like and more human and erratic. This is never directly exsplained but left up to the viewer to assume that Max has now downloaded the David's brain, scrabbling his computer brain.
David and Max travel the earth, being tracked and chased by NASA the whole way, trying to decided what to do. David finnaly decideds that he cannot stay in 1986 and despite the risk of being vaporized must return to his home time.
