The Philadelphia Experiment was released in 1984 and was directed by Stewart Raffill. The film stars Michael Paré as David, the sole survivor of the original experiment, and Nancy Allen who plays Allison, David's granddaughter. Both David and Allison team up to stop the experiment from causing further destruction and altering the course of time.
The government researchers in the movie are attempting to recreate the experiment, which was said to have caused a US Navy ship, the USS Eldridge, to disappear and reappear in another location. The original experiment was conducted during World War II, but its results were deemed unpredictable and the project was scrapped.
In the present day, the government researchers succeed in creating a cloaking device that can render a ship invisible, but they accidentally bring back the USS Eldridge along with its crew. The ship is now out of control and causing destruction, and David and Allison are the only ones who can stop it.
David reveals that he was on the original USS Eldridge, and he experienced firsthand the dangerous consequences of the cloaking device. He agrees to help Allison stop the ship and the experiment from causing further damage. They face challenges and obstacles as they try to navigate through time-travel and alter the course of history.
The Philadelphia Experiment received mixed reviews upon its release, but it has since garnered a cult following. The film is loosely based on the urban legend surrounding the Philadelphia Experiment and creates an exciting science fiction story with its own spin on the mystery of the disappearing ship.
