Synopsis
12-year-old David is accidentally knocked out in the forest near his home, but when he awakens eight years have passed. His family is overjoyed to have him back, but is just as perplexed as he is that he hasn't aged. When a NASA scientist discovers a UFO nearby, David gets the chance to unravel the mystery and recover the life he lost.
Memorable quotes from Flight of the Navigator
"My friends are never gonna believe this! [somberly] Oh right, my friends are all 20 years old, and I'm still 12."
"I do not leak, you leak, remember?"
"This is totally rad, I mean, you're my big little brother!"
"Carolyn: All right, listen, um, I gotta go, um, is there anything else you want when I come back?"
"David: How about a Big Mac, large fries and a Coke? They're still around, I hope."
"Carolyn: Well, now, that all depends, Do you want New Coke, Classic Coke, Cherry Coke, Diet Coke or caffeine-free Coke?"
"Max: I crashed into electrical towers and my star charts were erased. I need the ones in your head to complete my mission."
"David: So you need ME and my INFERIOR brain to fly that thing?"
