"Blast from the Past" (1999) is a comedy film directed by Hugh Wilson. It follows the story of a young man named Adam Webber (played by Brendan Fraser) who has spent his entire life in a bomb shelter with his eccentric parents, Calvin (played by Christopher Walken) and Helen (played by Sissy Spacek). Adam's parents mistakenly believe that a nuclear disaster has occurred, leading them to shelter underground in the early 1960s. However, when Adam ventures into the outside world for the first time as an adult in the late 1990s, he discovers that the world is not the nuclear wasteland his parents had feared. In his exploration of modern Los Angeles, Adam encounters Eve Rustikov (played by Alicia Silverstone), a street-smart woman who helps him navigate the unfamiliar world above ground. As Adam adjusts to contemporary society, he must reconcile his old-fashioned upbringing with the realities of the present day, leading to humorous and heartwarming situations.
