Rushed into production, the film was never properly finished. Dante revealed that the studio demanded that he stop editing and rush for a July release where it was overshadowed by the Live Aid concert. Despite being a box office flop upon its release, it attracted a cult following when it was later released on VHS.
Plot
Ben Crandall experiences vivid dreams about flying through clouds and over a vast, city-like circuit board...usually after falling asleep watching old sci-fi films (The War of the Worlds is a favorite). Every night, upon waking from the dream, he draws the circuit board. Ben shows the sketches to his friend, child prodigy Wolfgang Muller. At school, Ben develops a crush on Lori Swenson - but he isn't sure whether it's mutual. Both boys meet punkish-but-likable Darren Woods, with whom they share their circuit board-concepts. Wolfgang builds an actual microchip based on Ben's drawings. The chip enables the generation of an electromagnetic bubble which surrounds a pre-determined area. As the boys discover, the bubble is capable of moving at near-limitless distances and speeds without the usual ill-effects from inertia. They construct a rudimentary spacecraft out of an abandoned tilt-a-whirl seat; they name their ship the Thunder Road, after Bruce Springsteen's song of the same title. Their experiments with the Thunder Road draw attention from the US Government, which sends agents to scout the area for unidentified flying objects.
This old mountain side Where we used to reside Is slowly recalling The things we discovered inside Oh the crystal caves We shed both our jackets And I hammered brackets From old metal chairs To the walls, a crude set of stairs To lead us down And you tied a rope To the steepening slope A jerry rigged harness So we could descend in the dark But the tide came in And we found ourselves in the sea Deep under water We both found that we could still breathe So we spent the day submerged And we swam the evening away The water was clear Like the pure atmosphere As we kicked and fluttered Through caverns all cluttered with age In the afterglow We swim hand and hand Over white satin sand And you left a ribbon To honor the pale gibbon moon But that was years ago And we never came up for air Down there We can go anywhere The old world was dying While we took our flying Like peregrine falcons Beneath the transparent blue waves Far below the surf And we spent the hours With submarine flowers I knew I'd remember That day in November As we Felt alive again Cuz we found ourselves in the sea Deep underwater We both found that we could still breathe So we spent the day submerged And we swam the evening away
