# Blast from the Past (1999)

1999 · 112 min · Romance · United States


## Synopsis

Blast from the Past is a 1999 American romantic comedy adventure film directed and co-produced by Hugh Wilson, based on a story by Bill Kelly—who co-wrote the screenplay with Wilson—and starring Brendan Fraser, Alicia Silverstone, Christopher Walken, Sissy Spacek, and Dave Foley. The film focuses on a man who was born and raised in a Cold War-era fallout shelter built by his survivalist, anti-Communist father, and emerges into the modern world 35 years later, where his innocence and old-fashioned views put him at comedic odds with society.
