Geoff Murphy directed this time-travel chase movie. Emilio Estevez stars as Alex Furlong, a racecar driver from 1991, who is just about to experience a deadly crash in his Formula Atlantic. But at the last moment Alex finds himself transported to the streets of New York in 2009. He is saved from certain death and zapped into the future by 21st-century bounty hunter Vacendak (Mick Jagger), who wants to take over Alex's body. Alex escapes Vacendak's clutches and decides to look up an old girlfriend. When he locates Julie (Rene Russo), he enlists her support to help him from being captured by Vacendak. Much to Alex's surprise, he discovers that Julie now works as a top executive for a giant corporation presided over by McCandless (Anthony Hopkins). Julie, separated from Alex for almost twenty years, must decide whether to renew their relationship. But there is not much time for thought by either party, since Vacendak is still coming after Alex.~Paul Brenner
I was absolutely ecstatic to find this here on Blu-ray!
I have been updating my DVD collection to higher resolution media...I have many OOP and other titles that were just never released on Blu-Ray and I thought surely this would forever remain in one of those categories and once my old and worn DVD copy reached it's end it would just be lost to me.
The story is a solid sci-fi thriller. My kids, of course, thought it was a little "cheezy" by their high-tech-snob standards but solid performances by Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger and fun parts featuring David Johansen, Jerry Hall and Amanda Plummer make this movie as fun for me today as it was for me in my teens!

Although the transfer seemed a bit rushed, a bit grainy at times, it was still an enjoyable movie to watch. A great throwback to what you might see today. I would recommend it if you don't have the DVD.

OKay, wjen I was younger (alot younger), I really liked this movie. Now watching it now, its just funny to watch the version of special effects back then. All in all, this is an okay movie, even though their future (in the movie) is 2009. Doesn't seem too far in the future now
