Forever Young (1992)

.
"It's the dead guy!"

When hot shot test pilot Capt. Danny McCormick (Mel Gibson) doesn't want to witness his beloved girlfriend Helen (Isabel Glasser) in a coma after a horrible accident, he convinces his scientist friend Harry Finley (George Wendt) to using him as a guinea pig for a cryogenics experiment. Danny wants to be frozen for a year so he doesn't have to face Helen's condition. But after being frozen for 53 years, Danny comes back to life and finds himself in 1992.

Danny becomes involved in the lives of nurse Claire Cooper (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her son Nat (Elijah Wood).

Also appearing are Robert Hy Gorman as Nat's friend Felix; Joe Morton as Dr. Cameron, a modern crygenics expert; Nicolas Surovy as Claire's boyfriend; and Veronica Lauren as Nat's little girlfriend Alice.

Directed by Steve Miner.
