Een 12-jarige jongen raakt vermist in 1978, om in 1986 ineens weer op te duiken. In de 8 jaar die zijn voorbij gegaan, is David niet ouder geworden. Het is geen toeval dat ten tijde van de terugkeer van David, er verstrikt in elektriciteitskabels een UFO wordt gevonden.
Nee, helaas is Flight of the Navigator nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
