The last couple of days a film for no apparent reason has popped into my head, and I can't for the life of me focus in and remember what it was, is called.

I don't think its been out for a while, and I certainly haven't caught it on TV for a long long time, maybe since the mid nineties.


The memory I have is sketchy at best, but it was a Sci-fi film, in which the main protaganists end up finding some sort of shuttle pod, they might make it? That they then use to go into outer space and find a larger space ship, with two aliens on it, both seem pretty scary at first, a male and a female, and both have learnt to speak English via TV broadcasts. As the film progresses it turns out they are kids as well, and have knicked 'dads car - spaceship' for a joyride, and I remember a giant one of the aliens turning up all angry and ticked at the youngsters.

Is this some kind of weird dream, or did this movie exist.

I've looked in the usual places, but without a name for the film, its like looking at a huge wall of names and trying to pick one out at random.


Any help from my fellow Dakkanauts would be most appreciated.

The Explorers I mean!

Edit 2: Wiki Link IMDB Link

I remember this movie very fondly, and remember seeing it a couple years ago.

It sounds like " The Explorers"...just a guess though.

EDIT: Ach..Ninja'd

Sweet, right off the bat, thanks Steamdragon.

Hehe, and I was guessing there was a chance you might know it FITZZ, your b-movie, horror knowledge is approaching legendary levels.



Lovely, need to see if I can track it down, and find out if it was good as my brain thinks it was. Oh and River Phoenix and Ethan Hawke where in it as youngsters, scary.
