In this three-hanky romantic melodrama, a test pilot, distraught over the death of his girlfriend, volunteers to be a subject in a risky experiment and allows himself to be cryogenically frozen for 12 months. The year is 1939 and he is to come out in 1940. Unfortunately, something goes wrong and he is forgotten. Fifty years later, a pair of kids find the remains of the test facility and thaw him out. He comes out just fine and ends up having a wonderful effect on the lives of one of the kids and his attractive single mother while trying to adjust his new world. The sad part comes when he learns that his lover from long ago was only in a coma and fully recovered.
