What was the original movie about?
The navigator’s flight was an attempt to Disney to replicate the success of ET the alien (1982), but it did not end up having such an impact. The story centers on a 12-year-old boy who is in the middle of a forest and falls down a ravine. He wakes up and when he returns home he realizes that 8 years have passed, although he has not aged at all. So doctors start testing him and discover that there are star charts in his brain. On the other hand, a ship crashes on Earth and NASA realizes that it is totally hermetic.

In the end the child can return to his time even though it is a dangerous journey.
