I had not seen any advance publicity on this movie. I'm not even sure how I happened to come to watch it the first time. I just remember how engrossed I became in the movie as the unusual plot unfolded. There is a sort of science fiction aspect that is handled fairly well and adds to the impact of the movie. Due to the presence of northern lights, a ham radio is able to travel through time to connect a son and his deceased father. They come to understand just who they are talking to over the radio and the family history starts going through some radical changes. The way things change and the suspense involving new twists to the story keep the interest level high through out the movie. Just when you think the movie is coming to an end, it veers off in a new direction.This is one of those movies that will appeal to most age groups and was one that my (then) 11-year old son and I enjoyed together. I liked the use of the 1969 World Series as a backdrop and point of reference in the movie. If you haven't seen this movie then you have been missing out on a real treat.
