Plot

In 1943, the US Navy ship USS Eldridge disappears, due to the Philadelphia Experiment. In the present day (2012), researchers try to recreate the experiment, which has the unintended consequence of making the Eldridge reappear, apparently having traveled through time. The sole survivor of the original experiment is aboard, and meets up with his now-adult granddaughter. The Eldridge continues to drift through time and space, trapping others aboard it. The research company attempts to cover up the incident by trying to kill everyone involved. A struggle ensues as others try to protect the survivors, and return them to their original times and places.

Other portrayals

Actor Michael Paré, featured 28 years earlier in the 1984 film of the same name, had the role of henchman Hagan in this remake.[1]
