"Blast from the Past" is one of those belly-laugh comedies that also makes you feel warm and fuzzy at the end. In 1962, scientist Dr. Calvin Webber (Christopher Walken) builds an underground shelter beneath his home because he believes that the United States is on the brink of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union. For the next 35 years, Calvin and his wife Helen (Sissy Spacek) raise their son Adam (Fraser) completely underground and with the cultural norms of the 1960s. In 1997, the shelter unlocks, and a now 30-something Adam is ready to explore the real world and even find love with a stranger named Eve (Alicia Silverstone).
