An experiment designed to prevent radar detection seems successful, but something goes terribly wrong. The U.S. destroyer Eldridge and her entire crew disappear. The only two survivors leave the year 1943 and get molecularly transferred to the year 1984.

The Wilderness Family is based on a true story of a modern family who became bored with the hassles of the city life, and moved to the Rocky Mountains, never to return. This first installment in the trilogy is a perfect film for the entire family.
