Directed by:	William Dear
Synopsis:	As time-travel adventures go, this 1983 outing is an enjoyable one: a loosey-goosey shaggy-dog story about an '80s kind of guy who gets tossed back to the '70s--the 1870s, that is. Fred Ward plays the hero, a motocross racer who, along with his motorcycle, accidentally rides into the middle of a science experiment and is transported to the Old West. There, he runs into a cast of bad guys that includes some of the best character actors of the period: L.Q. Jones, Tracey Walter, Richard Masur, Ed Lauter, and Peter Coyote. It's your classic fish-out-of-water setup, with Ward as the slightly dippy wise guy who startles the heck out of the cowboys and pioneers of the period with his motorized bike, until he runs out of gas. The movie runs out of fuel as well, but it's an enjoyable ride while it lasts. Notable for its coproducer and cowriter: Michael Nesmith, formerly of the Monkees. --Marshall Fine

Spoiler: You know that old novelty song "I'm my own Grandpa"? That's the weird, kind of gross, circular twist to come out of this time travel movie. There are so many holes in the plot and it's not a very good representation of the old west. There is some beautiful desert and mesa scenery, which are seen from the many dirt bike rides Fred Ward takes. Filming a dirt bike roaring around the desert seems to be the filmmakers main motivation for making this movie.

Go Back In Time And Let Your Immagination Run Wild In The Desert Of Baja California. Fred Ward plays baja racer 'Lyle Swan', who inadvertently enters a restricted area and is shot back in time... Yes, it sounds cheesy (and it is), But let yourself go for once! You'll enjoy it ;)

This is a great science fiction film about time travel, a good film thatis very underrated. A great cast and great story. I remember seeing this movie for the first time on HBO. A classic film from 1982.
