Storyline

David Herdeg's participation in a failed 1943 experiment in radar invisibility has propelled him 40 years into the future. An aberration in his genetic makeup enabled him to pass through the portal of time. It has also made him sensitive to any alteration to the time continuum. Another disasterous experiment in 1993 sends a stealth aircraft through the time portal, into 1943 Germany. Simultaneously, Herdeg is pulled into the portal, and finds himself in the terrifying 1993 that resulted from a Nazi victory in World War II.

User Reviews

sequel not as good as the original

this movie doesn't live up to the standards of the first one(which was not spectacular,but decent enough).a combination of dog awful acting and dog awful throwaway lines,and a sometimes slow as molasses pace make this one hard to watch at times.plus,you you get too see very little of the actual time travel aspect during the movie.it's basically just a drama,with a maybe a minute or two in total focused on the time travel aspect.i did however like the ending.i found it very touching and unexpected.it actually redeems the movie a little bit,and even elevates it one star,in my opinion.for me,The Philadelphia Experiment is a 5/10
