US 2000. New Line. 118m. ws

In 1969 a fireman uses his amateur radio to tune in to his future son, who helps him to avoid a tragic death, and then solves a series of unsolved murders.
Enjoyable if increasingly formulaic thriller variation on Back to the Future which jumps back and forth between the time zones a little too much for its own good, but sustains its course and also keeps some of its sentiment in check.
