"Forever Young" starring Mel Gibson and Jamie Lee Curtis is a 1992 movie that I'm sure I saw when it first came out but when my spouse and I watched it again on DVD last night, it was all new to me as I remembered very little of it. It was a great movie, though.
Mel Gibson plays a test pilot, Daniel McCormick, and the movie opens in 1939. He's in love with his childhood sweetheart (played by Isabel Glasser) but before he can get up the nerve to ask her to marry him, she's taken away in a tragic accident. Danny sinks into a deep depression and finally convinces his long time pal (played by George Wendt) to use him in a top-secret cryogenics experiment.
When Danny awakens in 1992, his pal has died and Danny hasn't a clue how to survive in a world that has changed so much over the last 50+ years. He's befriended by a young fatherless boy (Elijah Wood) and his mother (Jamie Lee Curtis) who is a nurse.
As the days go by and Danny tries to find people from his past, he finds his pal's daughter and learns his former sweetheart and soulmate survived her tragic accident and he is determined to be reunited with her. However, there are a few obstacles in his way -- deteriorating health and the government. It's a great story about the survival of a lasting love and the measures a couple will take to be runited. pazt
