MovieFilter: Alien ship abducts kid, gives him galaxy map?

October 29, 2007 1:52 AM

1980s-90s movie: An alien spacecraft had to upload the galaxy's map into the 90% of a kid's brain that was unused.

There was an alien ship, and it was silver. It spoke to the child, I think the ship may have abducted him. The ship had "a stealth mode thing going on."

What is the title of this movie?

Best answer: It was probably "Flight of the Navigator".

Damn! For the first time I actually knew the answer.

I always think of FOTN whenever I hear "I get around" by the Beach Boys.

Fun fact: the voice of the ship was Paul Reubens.

Additional fun fact: The spaceship is still on display at Disney Studio's Backlot Tour in FL.
