12-year-old David is accidentally knocked out in the forest near his home, but when he awakens eight years have passed. His family is overjoyed to have him back, but is just as perplexed as he is that he hasn't aged. When a NASA scientist discovers a UFO nearby, David gets the chance to unravel the mystery and recover the life he lost.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Flight of the Navigator is a classic 80s sci-fi adventure film focusing on time dilation and alien technology. There is no meaningful connection to the Christmas season, iconography, or plot points, placing it firmly outside the established criteria for a Christmas movie."
