THis may be a hard one?

Question

Anyone out there remember seeing a movie about an experiment gone wrong with time travel and when the crew and ship returned from whereever they were, some of the guys were trapped alive in the metal of the ship. Can you tell me the name of this movie? I can't remember the names of the cast. Sorry.

Answer 1

I would say the Philadelphia Experiment or Even Horizon

The plot is based on the urban legend of the Philadelphia Experiment. In 1943, two sailors, David Herdeg (Paré) and Jim Parker (Di Cicco), are stationed on a ship in an experiment to make it invisible. However, the experiment goes horribly wrong and Herdeg and Parker are the only two survivors. They both undergo time travel (because of the experiment) and find themselves in the Nevada desert in the year 1984.

A sequel called Philadelphia Experiment II, featuring a different cast and crew, and a parallel storyline, was released in 1993 to little acclaim. It starred Brad Johnson as David Herdeg and Gerrit Graham as the stealthy villain who meets an untimely end.

Event Horizon

In the year 2047, faint radio signals from the starship Event Horizon are picked up on Earth. The ship had disappeared mysteriously in 2040; her loss was attributed to an accident. The ship appears to be in a decaying orbit around the planet Neptune, and the rescue ship Lewis and Clark is dispatched to investigate. The crew, which includes the Event Horizon’s designer, Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill), must spend a 56-day journey to Neptune in stasis in order to reach the ship.


56 days to reach NeptuneWhen the Lewis and Clark reaches Neptune's high atmosphere, the crew comes out of stasis. It is here that they are informed by Dr. Weir of the true story behind the "accident" which befell the Event Horizon. The ship had been a top secret prototype vessel equipped with an experimental stardrive. The drive, which would fold spacetime and create an artificial wormhole extending to any point in the universe, allowed the ship to traverse great distances instantaneously. To test the new gravity drive, the ship was sent to a designated jump-point with the goal of reaching Proxima Centauri (the next closest star to our Sun); it subsequently vanished without a trace.


The Event Horizon in orbit above Neptune.Upon approaching the drifting vessel, the crew scan for life signs aboard the Event Horizon. No definitive trace of human life is found; instead, it seems to be mysteriously abandoned, although strange, incomprehensible readings come up on the Lewis and Clark’s sensors, which leads the crew to assume an equipment malfunction and perform a manual search for Event Horizon’s crew.

The crew board the ship to find that its artificial gravity and heating systems are inoperational. Engineer Justin (Jack Noseworthy) eventually reaches the Event Horizon’s gravity drive. Suddenly, the drive activates itself, as though alerted to his presence. Justin sees a black, liquid-like mirror within the drive; he curiously touches it. Without warning, he is sucked into the drive and a large shock wave flows through the ship, damaging the Lewis and Clark. Cooper (Richard T. Jones) manages to pull Justin out of the liquid, but he is catatonic.

With the Lewis and Clark heavily damaged, Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne) has no choice but to transfer the entire crew over into the Event Horizon itself. Although they successfully reactivate the Horizon’s life support, heating, and artificial gravity systems, the rescue crew is now in danger themselves, as there are only 20 hours' worth of usable oxygen on board the Event Horizon. Shortly after this discovery, Justin emerges from his catatonia and, seemingly possessed, tries to eject himself into space from an airlock. When Peters tries to talk him out of killing himself, Justin says that images of death, sex and torture he saw while in the interdimensional gateway were so horrific that he can't bear the memories he has of them. Captain Miller, working outside the ship on repairs, rescues Justin, who has awoken from his strange possession. Justin is seriously injured during the rescue.

Once on board the Event Horizon, the rescuers almost immediately begin to experience macabre visions, which bring to life their inner demons and personal guilt. Captain Miller (Fishburne) sees the manifestation of a subordinate whom he was forced to leave to die in a fire on board a ship on which he previously served; MedTech Peters (Quinlan) sees images of her son, with his legs covered in sores. Dr. Weir, the ship's designer, is assaulted by images of his deceased wife Claire, who committed suicide (there is some indication that Weir's constant absence from their home due to his work contributed to her decision to kill herself). She urges him to "join us" so he can be reunited with her.

The crew continue to explore the ship, and discover the truth behind its disappearance; the ship had indeed succeeded in opening a gateway in space-time by using the gravity drive. However, when it made the jump, it passed outside the known universe and into another dimension; "a dimension of pure chaos, pure evil." This dimension is portrayed as being analogous to the Judeo-Christian Hell. Upon inspection, the ship's highly degraded video log shows the ship's original crew engaging the gravity drive and moments later, committing an orgy of torture, cannibalism, rape, and general depravity. At the end of the recoverable portion of the log, the captain of the Event Horizon’s crew, who has torn out his own eyes, leaves an initially misinterpreted warning in Latin which, at first glance, appears to be Liberate me ("Save me"). A clearer interpretation later reveals him to be stating Liberate tutemet ex inferis ("Save yourself from Hell").

It eventually becomes clear that wherever it was that the ship has been, it has brought back with it a presence which is methodically trying to drive its new occupants insane by using their own personal torments against them. The aim of this appears to be to compel them to re-engage the gravity drive and "go back" to the chaos dimension. Captain Miller decides to destroy the ship to prevent this from happening; when he informs Dr. Weir of his plan, the evil presence on board delves into Weir's mind, turning him against the rest of the crew in order to help it complete its mission. Weir re-lives Claire's horrific suicide, which finally drives him over the edge, turning him completely and utterly mad. He demands that Miller not destroy the Event Horizon, but when Miller growls back, "You just get your gear and get back on the Lewis and Clark, Doctor, or you'll find yourself walkin' home", Weir, in a shot remiscient of the final moment of I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang calmly replies, "I am home",and disappears into darkness. Later, he, like the deceased captain before him, gouges his eyes out and proudly announces "where we're going, we won't need eyes to see". Weir destroys the Lewis and Clark and then brutally kills several of the crew members who try to stop him from activating the gravity drive.

Completely possessed by the evil presence on board, he tells Miller that the ship is now alive and will not let anyone leave it. Dr. Weir eventually is being blown out into space by a ruptured window, as the possessed shipbuilder tells Miller and his surviving comrades that it is pointless to resist. However, before this happens, he manages to engage the ship's gravity drive on a 10-minute countdown to initiation. Miller makes an attempt to set off the explosives which will sever the long 'neck' which connects the ship's command module at the bow from the stern-mounted gravity drive and sublight engines; he manages to arm the explosives, but is forced to rush to the gateway room after almost being roasted by his personal demon: the former comrade who burned to death under his command. The doors of the room close just in time, but as he turns, he sees the burned man standing in front of him once again.

This time, Miller manages to overcome the vision and the flaming figure dissipates, revealing a mutilated Dr. Weir, (with his eyes restored) who has been brought back by the ship. Dr. Weir gleefully informs Miller that it is now "time to go back". He explains to Miller that "Hell is only a word. The reality is much, much worse." He then goes on to show Miller what awaits him in Hell. Images of the former crew being brutally tortured and all manners of violence being inflicted on their helpless, writhing forms fill Miller's mind. Miller opens his hands to reveal the detonator for the explosives. The Event Horizon explodes at the neck and separates in two, with their half plunging toward Neptune. Seconds later, the gravity drive is activated, and Dr. Weir and Captain Miller are dragged back into the chaos dimension, plunging into a gateway in Neptune's atmosphere.

Starck and Cooper, together with the comatose Justin, had remained in the forward half of the ship, and survive the ordeal. When a second rescue team arrives for them, one of the crew (Richardson) sees the face of Dr. Weir as a soldier lifts up his mask to greet her. As Starck snaps out of this delirium, it is revealed that they have been rescued. As the scene pans out, the doors of the ship close, leaving the viewer wondering whether the evil on board the Event Horizon really was over.

Answer 2

Philadelphia Experiment

Answer 3

The Philadelphia Experiment.

Answer 4

It might be either The Philadelphia Experiment or The Triangle (made for TV movie shown on SCI-Fi channel occassionally)

Answer 5

Depends on what you mean by ship. Maybe the miniseries Triangle if you are talking about a cargo ship.

Answer 6

Sounds more like Event Horizon with Sam Neill to me. It took place in space.

Answer 7

colour is a notice used to describe the visual attraction of a few thing. to illustrate: The sky is blue. Blue is the colour of the sky. and give up putting on solar colorings questioning you're hiding your identity at a similar time as stealing my avatar !! lol
